United Methodist Camp Allows Boys To Bunk With Girls, Choose Their Sleeping Cabins Based Off ‘Gender Identity’
Protestia ^ | February 27, 2025 | staff

The Warren Willis Camp is a United Methodist Camp and Conference Center on Lake Griffin’s picturesque shores in Fruitland Park. They are “dedicated to providing a sacred space where people of all ages and backgrounds come together to experience growth, connection, and transformation.”

A ministry of the Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church and proud partner of the United Methodist Camp and Retreat Ministries (UMCRM,) they offer overnight camps for everyone from 4th-grade students to recently graduated seniors. Here, students enjoy a week of chapel services, worship times, nature hikes, swimming, canoeing, crafts and ceramics, archery, wall-climbing, and making new friends and memories.

Notably, the camp has a very robust Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policy where they “intentionally includes all participants regardless of race, color, age, economic status, creed, religion, theology, national origin or ancestry, sex, disability, genetics, sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.”

They have a particular emphasis on affirming the LGBTQ community. One way they accommodate, this is that campers are assigned to cabins based on the sex their parents or guardians choose during the registration process, allowing biological boys to bunk with the girls and vice versa.

Furthermore, if a 9 or 10-year-old child publicly comes out as gay, non-binary, or transgender, that information would be withheld from parents.

If you are sending your kids to church camp this summer I don't suggest this one.

They are not Christian and actively promote doctrines of demons. False teachers warned about. Avoid them like the plague.

Not sure what can be done by the state to curtail wrongs by churches.

One thing is to make sure there is no statue of limitations on 9-year olds who are abused and wants justice years later.

I think I'm turning in my church affiliation card. I've seen much from my church and it's bureaucrats, and have been polite and mannerly. They are feeding off of some sort of perversion to compensate for their own shortcomings. It's messed up.

My soul says, "Don't mock God and his design".

My wife and I can save $7K per year we can redirect to more Godly acts of charity and love.

60 or 70 years ago church camp was a highly likely place to lose your virginity or at least a part of it. Not always but often enough.

The local Methodist Church in town used to be a United Methodist Church.

They took down the word United leaving just Methodist Church. But just like one can see where United used to be on their sign, you can see that even a plain Methodist Church is bogged with with false religion.

The LGBTQ movement did a hostile takeover of the United Methodist Church.

I believe the anti-Christ was predicted to first appear as peaceful and even “good”.

Is the modern “woke” movevmet in Churches, politics and government the “anti Christ”?

Maybe the description of a man was an allegory?

“””Notably, the camp has a very robust Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policy “””

Groovy, where can I sign up? Churches were sure different back in my day when they actually focused on religion.

What if the little girls don’t want to sleep in the same cabins as BOYS??????

Don’t the little girls matter????????

I am just in shock at how this affects females and those psycho ‘trans’ know it and still violently forge ahead - this is like a rape to me, an act that makes women feel violated, abused and ignored in favor of the rapist and then shamed when they protest.

Seems contradictory.
