Confirmation Camp
God is our Refuge and Strength - Psalm 46:1
Confirmation Camp
Confirmation Camp has been a long-standing tradition of La Casa de Cristo for 40+ years. It is not uncommon to hear people say the highlight of their Confirmation experience was Confirmation Camp. Many of those who have gone to camp would even say it was the time when their relationship with God made sense to them for the first time. As well, many say that they made a personal decision to follow Christ with their whole heart after, or during, their time there. Wherever a kid is on their faith journey, Confirmation Camp will play a special role.
Kids and friends who are not involved with Confirmation are still welcome to attend. Our hope is that the teenager and their family see value in the Confirmation Program and would want to make La Casa de Cristo their church home. We have ways for kids to catch-up on missed Confirmation course classes (if they decide to join mid-program).
Our Confirmation Camp is a requirement for our Confirmation Program. This is because Confirmation Camp offers a curriculum for better understanding the Trinity and one’s relationship with God, as well as developing important relationships with others who attend.
Our Confirmation Program is a two-year program for 7th and 8th grader. Kids become eligible for Confirmation Camp on the Summer between their 7th and 8th-grade year. If kids miss their first chance to go, they must plan on attending the camp in the following year to finish Confirmation. We do not offer a makeup class for Confirmation Camp as it is impossible to recreate.
