Attack of the Theocrats!
Although it is difficult to communicate everything that happens on a camp, camps are generally well organised and programmed and parents should be provided with an itinerary of events. If the school didn't do that, or deliberately omitted telling you about the religious aspect of the camp, then I think you have a legitimate cause for concern. You might have slightly less of a case if the school did give you access to information to Abernethy Trust, and also if your kids attend a religious school (which I'm not sure they do) because then you can expect some sort of devotional time. Anyways, if you feel like the school really misled you, then you should complain.
As for worrying about your kid, 7 days of "Time Out" doesn't make one weak ;)
