6. Elementary school kids aren't going to be impressed by much of it.

They don't get much out of bible camp, either, both venues are remembered as games and maybe some arts and crafts and food their Moms won't let them eat at home.

Kids are a lot more resilient than you think they are. If this story is true (and I sincerely doubt it), the kiddies will not grow up twisted.

ETA: The term "exposed to" means to me that the children were not participating, that they were likely waiting in a hall next to a condom week party.
