YMCA Camp and non-theist 5 year old?
I’m atheist and my GF is non-theist. Anyways we have a 5 year old son who starts kindergarten in the fall and we’re sending him to YMCA day camp this summer so keep him occupied and keep him with a daily routine and all.
Anyways once a week the kids go to a church where they sing songs, do crafts have a snack and so on. Now this is optional but what I’m concerned with is that he’ll feel left out, especially if he’s the only one opting out. I didn’t know about the church thing til yesterday as the church just recently offered this service for free.
Now I know it’s a tactic by the church and it’s designed so that kids will feel left out if their parents opt out. I also am not objecting to exposing my son to different religions, but I think 5 years old is a bit early.
Does anyone here have an opinion or experience with this? He’s already excited about going so pulling him out isn’t an option and I have a feeling I’m just going to have to suck it up.
That would never happen at the Church of Barney.
