Confirmation Retreat

Fall Confirmation Retreat with Service Orientation
​September 8-10, 2023

A Confirmation camp that leans more toward service and community, learning experientially and gaining not only group cohesiveness for the fall, but also devotions designed around the Christian life. 

​Guest Bible Study & Devotion Leader: Pastor Randy Duncan is the campus chaplain & professor at Concordia University Ann Arbor. 
Student Cost: $110 per youth
Adult Leader Cost: $90 per leader
​(
Required: 1 leader for every 7 male youth and every 7 female youth)

Each group must provide their own adult leaders. We ask that you bring one leader for every seven students; we also ask that you provide a leader for each gender represented by your students. All leaders must be at least 18 years old. The adult leaders are responsible for their group throughout the entire retreat including behavior, supervision, and in case of emergency, adult leaders must have health information available for every person in the group.
COMING: Group Registration Form (Print & Return)

There are 82 spots available for this retreat. Every participant - youth and adult - registration forms are due in the Camp Concordia office by August 30, along with the non-refundable deposit of 50% total.
