Confirmation Camp
for youths in the 6th‑12th Grades
April 1-3, 2022
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
Young learners are invited to browse through these Confirmation Class Materials written by the Rev. Dr. Stu Smith.
There is a $50 registration fee for Confirmation Camp. You may pay your registration fee through the PayPal link below. Scholarships are available.
