No, I don't think you are over reacting. Religious folk are often so steeped in their religiosity that they think their world view is the norm. I'm almost willing to believe that the school involved didn't think the religous aspect of the camp was worth mentioning. That is precisely why you should raise your concerns. I had a similar dilema myself when I was in hospital and came round from the anaesthetic to find a bible on my bedside locker.Should I complain or would I be making a fuss about nothing? On balance I decided I ought to challenge the assumption that the default position is Christianity. If I didn't I was effectively endorsing that view.
