A slightly different way of looking at it..
Godwin be damned.
If I were Jewish (which I'm not) I would have a hard time letting my kids go to the Hitlerjugend camp for a week or two. And I suspect that almost all of the commentariat here would agree with me in that particular case.
The people running the camp think you (atheists) are THE ENEMY. Do not allow yourself to forget this.
Your children are unlikely to be permanently harmed by the experience.. But why take the chance?
You might want to ask the relatives wanting to provide this little outing for your kids if they would send their own kids to an explicitly atheist camp for an equal length of time. The answer should prove most illuminating.
