The children who attended the Jesus Camp featured in the 2006 documentary have mostly grown up and lived varied lives. Some key updates include:
- Tori (Tory), one of the campers, was reportedly studying dance and communications in college as of 2014. She remains involved in related fields.
- Andrew, another child shown in the film who questioned his faith, struggled with guilt but later moved on to explore different views.
- Overall, despite the camp's controversial and intense religious environment, many of the children turned out to be mostly fine, with some experiencing typical youthful experimentation such as with drugs.
The camp itself eventually closed down after the film brought it controversy. The documentary showed how deeply immersed these kids were in a strict charismatic Christian environment with a focus on prophetic gifts and taking back America for Christ. Becky Fischer, who ran the camp, was closely associated with the neo-charismatic New Apostolic Reformation. The film followed three kids—Levi, Rachael, and Tory—as they went through the camp experience in 2005. Later reflections from people who attended or were associated with Jesus Camp include some describing feeling brainwashed at the time but moving beyond that with therapy and personal growth in subsequent years. In summary, the kids from Jesus Camp pursued diverse life paths, mostly normal or positive despite early intense religious pressures. The camp closed after the documentary's release and criticism it received.
