The Summer Camp that Was Not Tolerant or Inclusive

St. Nichols School Summer Camp wasn’t compassionate, tolerant or inclusive of our family values.

Written by Patrick D. Hampton | Friday, July 23, 2021

My 6 year old baby boy was introduced to same sex relationships at St. Nichols School Summer Camp – Chattanooga, Tennessee. The teacher of a 6 year old group played a YouTube video with a same sex couple playing a game. My son came home shocked and asked if it was ok for “boys to marry boys and girls to marry girls.”

 

I’m a father of four boys and today is a sad day for me.

My 6 year old baby boy was introduced to same sex relationships at St. Nichols School Summer Camp – Chattanooga, Tennessee. The teacher of a 6 year old group played a YouTube video with a same sex couple playing a game.

My son came home shocked and asked if it was ok for “boys to marry boys and girls to marry girls.”

Let me be clear, all of my boys have gone through this summer camp. My older boys were teen counselors. My boys have been featured on their brochures and billboards all over Chattanooga. We have never had issues until this year.

I have respectfully spoken with the Director and he said, “Sorry Mr. Hampton, we don’t promote same sex relationships but we don’t demote them either. If it’s a loving relationship, it ok with us. We are inclusive here.”

My heart was broken. Are they inclusive of families that believe marriage is between a man and a woman. If they didn’t promote it, why was my son introduced to it by a video?that purposefully included a same sex couples.

I’m so grateful my 6 year old boy had enough Bible in him to discern something wasn’t right. Imagine all the other souls that don’t have what he has at home.

I must show my boys how to use their 1st amendment right and STAND against evil respectfully. Please help me by sharing this story to protect kids that being indoctrinated with a false sense of sexuality in schools.

Today, we pulled our two sons from this summer camp that we loved. St Nicholas wasn’t compassionate, tolerant or inclusive of our family values.
