Confirmation Retreat
Join us for a faith-filled weekend designed especially for youth in Grades 7–9 who are part of Confirmation programs in Lutheran churches — along with their pastors and leaders!
January 30 - February 1, 2026
Our team of trained high school and college-aged leaders will guide the weekend with energy and care. They’ll lead games, worship, campfires, and activities that help connect faith to everyday life.
Leaders will guide their youth through four one-hour study sessions, designed to complement their home Confirmation curriculum. Between sessions, campers can enjoy sports, sauna, crafts, and outdoor adventures.
Weekend Schedule (Highlights)
Friday: Arrive, settle in, enjoy icebreakers, and gather for our first campfire.
Saturday: A full day of worship, study, games, and community care — ending with campfire and evening fellowship.
Sunday: Sleep in, pack up, and close with brunch and worship before farewells.
