My only questions - what the heck is a Labour Party youth camp and what are they doing there?

It's a summer camp for kids, set up by adults, with the emphasis on politics.

Even Republicans do such things.

Young Republican Camp: When I was 16 years old, my parents sent me to Orange County's Young Republican Camp. OCYRC took place during the summer in a remote arroyo in Trabuco Canyon, off El Toro Road about 15 miles east toward the mountains.. The facilities sat nestled amidst live oak groves and rolling hills. Girls and boys bunked in separate dorm rooms; we ate our meals in a formal dining room; we met with Important Republicans in a conference center, screened videos in a media room, and had access to tennis courts. .... To begin, I didn't want to go. But my parents must have wanted me to go because they sent me despite my will to talk them out of it. It was non-negotiable. On the ride out there, I argued that I was not a Republican, and my father said, "that's one of the reasons you're going, young lady!"

Compelling stuff. A four year old blog post about a twenty year old experience recalled by a lady whose interests include “Lucid Dreams”, “Revenge Plots”, “New Physics” and “The Other Side of Sense and Memory” and tells her audience things like, “I met Barak[sic] Obama in April 2008, and he was surrounded by a totally visible white aura.”

If that’s the best evidence you have of right-wing indoctrination camps across the country, it’s safe to say it’s not an issue.
