I will say this.
I know of other good men who have expressed the same discernment about certain meetings, and they were right on. We think because it is a UPCI Camp, that it cannot be under the influence of other spirits. That is wrong. IN fact, look at Israel of old. There was Elijah speaking on the truth, and the 450 Baal prophets and the 400 Asherah prophets. Israel thought they were doing fine. But, they were deceived.
The Church has been under siege for a long time. Prophets have arose, and those under use of the prophetic gifts have spoken, and the church world stops up their ears, and heed only to those working under a divining spirit, seeking a good word to make them feel good and tell them that they are all right.

For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold, And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions. {2 Timothy 4:3-4}

Thank God for men willing to speak what they discern. It is not always popular, but it is always timely. And, Lord, if it helps my soul to be saved, and helps me to preach and teach the people the right, then so be it.
