Summer Vacation when you were a kid

[exOBCstudent]

We did "SMITE Camp" every summer then VBS "Blitz" the rest of the summer my entire teen years.

It stands for Summer Missionary Institute of Training and Evangelism. Basically they "smite" you with harsh, hate-filled preaching all day and night with bible clubs in the hottest part of the day. Each team does 3 all afternoon.

There were NO fun, games, or enjoyment....only preaching and work.

The summer "Blitz Teams" were no different except we traveled from church to church building their bus routes with the VBS and Bible Clubs.

Those folks put the "fundy" in fundamentalism...some of the most extreme of the whole bunch.

Our family put all we had into SMITE so we rarely had a nice vacation that we could've afforded otherwise.
