Description

Christian summer camp is where many feel most authentic and at home. But for campers at white Evangelical church camps in particular, camp often became a place to inherit a toxic image of God and of each other. Church Camp invites readers into the tension of accounting for our past while moving toward a more vibrant, loving, and inclusive faith.
