UPCI Camps

Curious if all district camps were similar?? Growing up ours was broken up into junior, youth and family camp. Pretty much all the same schedule even for the little kids which is so sad. All we did was go to church and change outfits in terrible heat. It seems now they’ve added more fun things to do which is good I guess but ya I get super sad when I hear about other kids church camps growing up. They barely had any actual church services and did like horseback riding and swimming in lakes which now as an adult makes so much more sense then preaching about hell to 8 year olds. I mean even if it’s preached with puppets it’s scary af!! Also, now noticing as an adult how clicky all the conferences are. It’s almost like mean girl vibes and looking back it was definitely a clicky amongst kids who had money, kids who were attractive, kids who were super spiritual and I think pks too. Even amongst the adults and the pastors there were def a “cool pastors” click which is absolutely ridiculous but for sure categorized like that. So weird. Anyway, anyone else have a better camp experience? Are they all setup the same throughout dif districts? Or did they all suck and just consist of services and wardrobe changes??

UPCI SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCERS

Anyone want to rant about all the annoying UPC influencers? Or am I the only one who keeps seeing them pop up in my feed?

“GRWM as a Pentecostal pastors wife”,

“spend the day with me as a UPC music director”,

“a day as a principal of Christian school”,

Anybody else sick of the straight up lies they portray that their life is like? Like, it’s not interesting or fun, or wholesome. It’s boring cause you’re legit just always getting ready to go to church, it’s tiring, and really gross how hypocritical it can be.
I’d love to see a real “day in the life of…,” the ones I actually lived: -spiritually and mentally abused by certain pastors wives, -those criticized and worked to the bone under music directors -Or my ONLY bully experience during school was my TEACHER at a very similar school as that influencer/principal of the small Christian school.

Any other REAL topics they’re missing?

Any of you speak openly about leaving this sh## on socials or know of anyone? I’d like to change my algorithm and support those ones!!
