The camp is set to run June 6 to 10 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Half Liter BBQ, in the restaurant\u2019s private banquet area.<\/p>\n<p>Registration costs $200 until March 2, when spots will begin selling for $250 until the end of May.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/allevents.in\/indianapolis\/sex-ed-summer-camp-for-grades-3-5\/10000226630506947\">flyer<\/a> for the camp says a condom demonstration for the kids will be part of camp activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this age, kids are primed for level-headed learning. They are information-gatherers. There is no shame or ickiness associated with using bandaids and that same philosophy is applied to condoms and other barriers in this body-positive curriculum,\u201d reads the flyer.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the kids will not be separated by gender when learning about puberty, bodies, and sex because \u201cgender is a spectrum\u201d and \u201ceveryone needs to learn about all bodies,\u201d the flyer states.<\/p>\n<p>Children do have the option to \u201cpass\u201d on activities if they are uncomfortable because \u201cthis is one way Consent Culture is modeled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The kids will not be taught \u201cvalues-based rules\u201d such as \u201cwait until marriage for sex,\u201d and instructors will not tell campers anything that is not \u201cscientific information,\u201d according to the flyer.<\/p>\n<p>The camp uses the Our Whole Lives <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uua.org\/re\/owl\">curriculum<\/a>, which \u201coffers a positive, affirming take on puberty, human sexuality, and social emotional skills without coercive abstinence-based strategies,\u201d the flyer says.<\/p>\n<p>All families who wish to participate in the camp must attend a mandatory orientation on May 28 to sign behavior agreements and waivers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important that trust and complete understanding be established for us to teach this content,\u201d the flyer explains.<\/p>\n<p>All staff have passed a basic Indiana background check, according to the flyer.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire reached out to the camp\u2019s organizer, \u201csexuality educator\u201d Ashley Robertson, for comment but did not receive a response.<\/p>\n<p>The other camp organizers include Jenna Phillips, a former early childhood educator who has two children with her wife. Phillips says she is a \u201cfirm believer of positive sex education for children\u201d and supports LGBT youth in Indianapolis. Also running the camp is Cathy Miller, a teacher of 30 years, Robin, who goes by \u201cany pronouns,\u201d Jennie Mentz, a parent and family coach, and Phoenix, a high school assistant described as a \u201ctrans queer individual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A parent group, Purple For Parents Indiana, is sounding the alarm about the sex-ed summer camp, warning parents on its Facebook page to \u201ckeep your kids safe by not sending them to be sexually groomed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe parents need to be aware that individuals and organizations that prey on minors to break down their inhibitions are both tragic and criminal. We believe Ms. Ashley needs to be investigated along with the others individuals who appear to be working with her,\u201d Rhonda Miller, president of Purple For Parents Indiana told The Daily Wire in an email.<\/p>\n<p>Miller emphasized that it would be illegal to expose young children to pornographic material.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that she was having a \u2018camp\u2019 for it is deeply disturbing,\u201d Miller said.<\/p>\n<p>Robertson hit back at the parent group\u2019s criticism on her public Facebook page dubbed \u201cLet\u2019s Talk About Sex Ed with Ms. Ashley,\u201d which has about 900 members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe hate has begun. If you\u2019re not aware, Purple Parents is a hate group here in Indiana,\u201d a Monday post on the page reads.<\/p>\n<p>Robertson expresses support for abortion as well as LGBT youth issues on her public page. In one post, she relates that she asked the director of a school health education program, \u201cshould we opt out of your program if we have a child who identifies as non-binary since the curriculum currently divides kids into male\/female?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In one video, Robertson holds up a large carrot and a spatula and recommends that parents instruct their teens to make sure they put a condom on \u201cpervertable insertables\u201d before inserting them into their body, saying teens are \u201cprobably going to be searching\u201d for items to explore.<\/p>\n<p>Robertson has taught several other sex ed classes as well, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/lu.ma\/SHIP-SFPT\">workshop<\/a> for parents called \u201cShame-Free Potty Training (And Early Sex-Ed)\u201d back in November.<\/p>\n<p>Several public school staff members are among the members of Robertson\u2019s Facebook page, including a guidance counselor at Fishers High School in Fishers, Indiana, and a school psychologist at Arapahoe High School just south of Denver.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
