November 8, 2006
AP and Religion News Service via The Seattle Times: "The summer camp featured in the documentary Jesus Camp, which includes scenes with disgraced preacher Ted Haggard, will shut down for at least several years because of negative reaction sparked by the film, according to the camp's director." In the same story, co-director Rachel Grady comments that she's not completely thrilled by the overly negative reaction to the film's subject: "'Not that we had anything to do with it, but [the campground] wasn't getting vandalized before the film and it was after it, and we need to acknowledge that.'"
