In the US I couldn't imagine many parents wanting to send their kids to a political summer camp but like I said a lot of church camps don't missing being political youth camp by much if at all. I don't think we have the same level of party loyalty in the US as they do in some other parts of the world. I guess with only two parties they are to big tent for anyone to feel strongly represented by them.

By the way I don't want to come off as judgmental I just find it interesting sometimes how alike yet different the US and Europe are.


It is not the parents sending their kids. It is the kids being politically active and participating on their own.
