I’m deeply concerned about something happening at our Faith Formation camp for kids/pre-teens. Several of the counselors at our camp are not Catholic, but are merely friends/neighbors of the Faith Formation Director. They aren’t just assistants counselors, they are in charge of cabins entirely by themselves. I guess I just don’t see how they could possibly add to a kid’s understanding/deepening of the Catholic faith. Even if they are good, moral people, they aren’t Catholic - some of them are leaders/have positions at their own Protestant churches. This really bothers me - especially in light of the $85 per camper fee people pay for their kids to attend. I’d appreciate some insight from the rest of you. Thanks.
 
I can’t offer any insight, but it that would really bug me too. I am sure that it could be justified by saying that the participants are good Christians, but if you wanted to send your kid to an ecumenical camp that is what you would choose. Also, I know from the teens that I teach than many of them are just looking for an excuse to bail from the CC and seeds of dissent can be subtley planted - even unknowingly. Pray for their spiritual protection!

Peace,
Kathy
