Camp Woebegone

Whatever happened to Camp Quest? Asks Phil. A good question.

I guess the problem is that ironic disbelief is so last year. All the invisible unicorns have been captured. The Genie got out the bottle, went for a wander around, then realised that being out the bottle isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I hope both the young people going to the various Camps Quest have a good time, surrounded by anorak-wearing well-wishers as they will be. But if I were 14 again I'd rather be playing football or hanging with friends or looking in a confused and uncertain manner at the opposite sex, rather than being educated in the joys of sceptical rationalism.

  1. AE, Are you saying you're sceptical about camp quest? you closet rationalist you! ;)

    I must say though my anorak did come out a lot on holiday this year, pesky weather!

  2. Sceptical? Me? We are an oasis of fuzzy thinking.

    And I reckon the anorak just suits you....
