Confirmation Camp

for youths in the 6th‑12th Grades

TBD, 2023

This weekend camp combines the fun of being at Camp Carew with focused instruction led by Presbyterian pastors and ruling elders. These instruction sessions are designed to be both a review for young people who are receiving quality confirmation instruction in their home churches and a thorough introduction to confirmands from congregations not currently offering structured confirmation classes. Over the years the Camp Carew staff and board have developed a curriculum that includes topics such as:

The Church
Mission
Christian Living
Being Presbyterian
Worship
Sacraments
