veggie schools /camps?

[Guest guest]

I have an 8 year old son who I have been trying to

raise vegetarian since his birth. He was fine until

about age 3, when everyone else in the world attempted

to corrupt him...friends, relatives, schools etc.. Now

he does eat meat, unfortunately, but I do not cook any

at home, and do not buy meat.

 

I don't really want to force vegetarianism on him,

because eventually then he will rebel. I would prefer

that he *chose* vegetarianism...so I cook vegetarian

at home.

 

However, when he is not at home, I let him make his

own choices...when we are in restaurants...and when he

is at school, and out with friends. He almost always

chooses meat.

 

I would like to find a school, or a summer camp, that

is purely vegetarian. My older daughter when to Au

Grand Bois in Canada, which was a great vegetarian

summer camp, but Lenny and Arlene have closed it down.

 

I would be almost willing to move to anywhere in the

country to send him to a vegetarian school. I have a

feeling that no such thing exists.

 

I am pretty disappointed that a once vegetarian kid

has been corrupted by society, but am not surprised.

 

All I can do is continue to set an example, and hope

that some day it will have an impact on him. However,

if anyone knows of a vegetarian summer camp or school,

please let me know.

We have my daughter in a Jewish preschool that doesnt allow meat, though for

other reasons. It's good to know that if she grabs someone else's lunch,

it'll be dairy (we're ovolacto)..

There is a school in Fairfield, Iowa called the Maharishi School of

Enlightenment. I found an article in April 99 Teen People's Cool School of

the Month when I was teaching last year. I believe their meals are all

vegetarian. It seems like the best public school I've heard of. Too bad it's

in Iowa and there aren't more like it elsewhere. The link listed is

Laura;

I don't think your pushing anything on your son. There are no 8 year

olds that know what's good for them. The diet is for his well being.???? I

have a teenager and we have problems also. However I stick to my Guns on the

meat issue. The raw issue is not as raw as I would like. Raising kids is no

easy job.The seventh Day Advents have wonderful schools. It is a Christian

format, nothing spooky.

Totally vegan diet.

I am open to 7th Day Adventist Schools...and we are

Christian. Do you know where I can find a list? I

guess I will just go to Google and do a search.

Interesting.... I had a few teacher and friend who

were Seventh Day Advents I do remember that teacher

had brought in healthier versions of some " treats " for

us before... ( I was only about 8 yrs old then and

living on a pig farm so I never considered why) But I

do also remember going to their house once and being

served bread with a cheese fondu... I wonder now

whether it was animal cheese?

 

I never would have thought that Seventh Day would be

vegan though as I also dated a guy who was and he and

his family were big into hunting and the gorging of

themselves with meat. But then again he turned out to

be a cheater to so maybe he only told me he was

Seventh Day to get another day not to make excuses

for...hmmm...

 

ignorance is bliss....

My understanding is that Seventh Day Adventism encourages vegetarianism,

but does not require it. I have read that about 1/2 of Seventh Day

Adventists are vegetarian and only a relatively small percentage of those

are vegan. I'm not a Seventh Day Adventist myself, but I did notice at

the vegetarian food festival sponsored by a local Adventist church that

lots of the foods served had dairy and/or eggs.
