“Summertime, and the living is easy, fish are jumping, and”… wait a minute, what the hell is this? A summer camp for kids – but with a disturbing corporate twist.

For us Texans, there’s nothing new about Bible-thumping politicians bedevilling us with the foolishness of their dogmatic Christian piety.
