I was amazed and perversely delighted by the following excerpt from The Guardian web site.

As you read the story below please note that the camps are held at Devil's Lake. How appropriate is THAT?

If course you can make up your own mind by checking out this site:

"A documentary on evangelical Christian children's camps has caused uproar in the US

The children at the Kids on Fire summer camp are intent as they pray over a cardboard cutout of President George Bush. They raise their hands in the air and sway, eyes closed, as they join the chant for "righteous judges". Tears stream down their faces as they are told that they are "phonies" and "hypocrites" and must wash their hands in bottled water to drive out the devil.

The documentary film Jesus Camp follows three children at the Kids on Fire Pentecostal summer camp in the small city of Devil's Lake, North Dakota.
