When my daughter was fourteen, she had fraught memories of a church group weekend camp where the girls involved (ages 13 to 16) spent most of an evening discussing whether oral and anal intercourse really qualified as sex. This went far beyond what my daughter had learned in the official school curriculum. My wife and I were rather surprised when after she came home, she asked us questions about the discussion and not very happy trying to answer her questions.

These were a group of "good kids", a majority of whom were home schooled and most of whom had very strict home environments. When I showed up for an appointment I made to discuss this with the children's pastor, they basically did not want to discuss the topic since they were "good kids" and "my daughter probably misunderstood the discussion".

My daughter ended up breaking up with the friend who had convinced her it would be fun to attend the weekend camp. Evidently the hard sell on being saved was about as attractive as the evening sex talk.
