Even if a child has no political bearings, politically oriented camps will
make sure he or she returns home with a new outlook on society.
Camp Kinderland in the Massachusetts Berk****res bills itself as a "summer
camp with a conscience." It continues to promote the socialist and
communist values on which it was founded over 75 years ago.
The camp originally catered to radical, secular Jews seeking a summer
getaway for the children of factory and sweatshop workers who identified
themselves as socialists and communists.
Kinderland to this day emphasizes "group living, cooperative
decision-making, and noncompetitive but challenging approaches to s****ts
and games." Every game ends in what's called a "Kinderland tie," because
the kids - ages 6 to 19 - are discouraged from keeping score.
[...]
Allegiance to the camp is strong. Shechter said campers return year after
year, many of them following in the footsteps of their parents and their
grandparents.
Kinderland dismissed suggestions that the camp brainwashes kids, by
encouraging them to understand and advocate the liberal social agenda. "I
never feel that," she said. "I think that kids learn how to speak their
minds at Camp Kinderland," she added.

Hilarious!
