The summer camp featured in the documentary "Jesus Camp " (2006) which includes scenes with disgraced preacher Ted Haggard, was recently forced to close after a reported storm of protest.The camp was located in Devil's Lake, North Dakota,USA.When the film debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in the summer of 2006, it generated a lot of controversy for what was perceived by filmmakers as overtly political content and crazy subject matter. "Jesus Camp" focused on the training methods of camp organiser and Pentecostal pastor Becky Fischer and the activities of the children sent to her for instruction by their parents.
Children are shown speaking in tongues and being urged to campaign against abortion. They are warned off reading Harry Potter books, and are told: "in Old Testament times, he would have been put to death." In one scene, the students appear to be worshipping in front of a cardboard effigy of American president George Bush.
The documentary portrays Becky Fischer, 56, as drill instructor to a group of young Christian children steeling themselves for spiritual and political warfare.
Fischer has since announced that due to negative reactions to the camp after the film, including telephone calls and vandalism, the camp, which was held once a year for three weeks, will be discontinued indefinitely.
"I don't think we'll be doing it for a while," she said.
