Devoted is becoming a big, scary word

I have been actively trying to not think about church camp.  My goal is to not dwell on it again until at least December.  So, of course today is the day that I find Student Life Camp 2011 information on my desk.  It was not so much SL's fault.  I have been slowly digging through the pile of stuff that has ended up on my desk, and I was bound to make it back to what was put there in August.  Today was that day. 
When I first saw my nifty little Devoted CD Rom, I decided to put it away.  Then, I put in the computer instead.  Next year's theme is "Devoted."  From what I can tell this is mostly in response to a study by Dr. Christian Smith, Professor of Sociology at Notre Dame.  He is also the director for the National Study of Youth and Religion.  This study began in 2001, and the findings were recently released.  I've scanned most of it, and we'll be discussing it pretty consistently for awhile as I really get into it.
What has me concerned is this idea of helping teens, teaching teens, forcing teens, whatever verb you want to use here teens to be "devoted."  There is obivously no magic solution here, no sure fire equation or perfect plan.  Thus my concern.
But more than that, the elements that seem to be so important to developing devoted teens, no matter the religion or philosophy, are, at best, weak in our society.  How many parents are devoted to anything themselves?  How many other adults are not only devoted, but are actively trying to share that with teens?  How much is the "Christian Culture" (the problems with those two words is a whole other blog serieis) screaming out that this generation is the most godless, the most immoral, the most rebellious?  What have we, as the religious devoted, done to encourage the same in the next generation?  More specifically, where is it that we as the American Christian devoted are failing, as we watch where those outside our faith are being successfull?  Are we that blind, are we missing the point, or does it even have anything to do with us?
I've no answers today, this is just  a process I am starting to work through.  But, I am concerned, and that word, devoted, may come to haunt me in the coming weeks.
