Message: [QUOTE="CBear01, post: 2112173, member: 6315"] I believe the OP was sincere in asking a serious question. Sleep away camp is a large part of growing up Jewish here in America. I, myself, am catholic but was Head Counselor at a sleep away camp in upstate New York for a number of years that was predominantly attended by Jewish campers. I'd say close to 90%. Was never a concern I was catholic, and the camp owner went out of his way to lend me a large van every week for me to take myself and about 7 or 8 campers to mass every Sunday. 7 or 8 out of 500. It is also my understanding that the camp began strictly as a Jewish member camp some decades ago and has since grown to include campers of all faiths. The camp is very well known (internationally) and has campers from all over the world (including Muslim campers from UAE and other Muslim nations). Many of the Europeans were catholic but did not care to attend mass, as I recall. [/QUOTE]
