Confirmation Camp
for youths in the 6th‑12th Grades
Dates to be determined, 2024
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 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. Scholarships are available.
