NEW LAWSUIT: Christian Summer Camp Challenges State Law Pushing Gender Ideology

<[link removed]>

Dear Fellow American,


Thanks to a new state policy, Camp IdRaHaJe (from the hymn "I'd Rather Have
Jesus"), a Christian camp serving kids in Colorado since 1948, is now being
forced to make a choice.

A Colorado policy requires camps to let boys use girls' showers, dressing
rooms, and sleeping quarters, and vice versa.When the camp asked to operate
according to its faith (and common sense), the state said no.

Stop me if you've heard this before. State officials are prioritizing their
radical political ideology. When that happens—when the law ignores
reality—children pay the price.

The state is telling this camp that they can either stay true to their
biblical beliefs about biological sex and risk losing their license, or abandon
their beliefs and mission in order to continue operating.

That's not right—and it's illegal.

The government has no place telling religious summer camps that it's 'lights
out' for upholding their religious beliefs about human sexuality.

That's why Alliance Defending Freedom recently filed a federal lawsuit
defending the camp's right to uphold both religious convictions and common
sense.

Camp IdRaHaJe's leadership wasn't looking to cause strife. But they made a
choice to stand up for religious freedom—YOUR right to live and speak the truth.
Will you sign your name to stand for religious freedom right now?

What is Camp IdRaHaJe?


Camp IdRaHaJe, which derives its name from the song "I'd Rather Have Jesus,"
has served children in Bailey, Colorado, since 1948 and has maintained a
resident camp license in the state since 1995.

Founded by "Uncle Paul" Eiselstein with 15 acres he purchased for $50, the
camp now serves up to 3,000 campers each summer. Camp IdRaHaJe exists to
present the truth of the Gospel to children who are building character and
lifelong memories.

Camp IdRaHaJe is a Christ-centered camp, yet it welcomes children of all
faiths and backgrounds to its camps.

But that wasn't good enough for Colorado bureaucrats, who pushed a policy that
punishes those who won't help further the state's gender ideology agenda.

Put simply: ministries like Camp IdRaHaJe are being punished for living out
their mission.

That's why this new lawsuit is so important. Thanks to the support of people
like you we're able to take on big cases like this—defending our fundamental
freedoms, including the right to live out our faith.

You can show your support for the team at Camp IdRaHaJe by committing to pray
for strength as they start on their legal journey, which could take years.You
can also let them know you have their back by signing our statement of support
right now!

Thank you for helping us stand up to this dangerous agenda that the Colorado
government is pushing, potentially at the expense of THOUSANDS of kids who look
forward to the camp experience and hearing the Gospel message.


In Christ,

P.S. New case! This Colorado Christian camp is being targeted by a state
policy that would force it to allow boys to use girls' bathrooms and sleeping
facilities—violating their religious beliefs.Sign your name to our statement of
support for Camp IdRaHaJe and let them know you stand with them!
