Confirmation is one of the most significant seasons in a young person's faith journey. Campfirmation is designed to meet that moment — and make it unforgettable.

This is not confirmation class. It's confirmation come to life. Led by pastors, Campfirmation uses the beauty and rhythm of camp as a living classroom, guiding middle schoolers through the seasons of the church year in a way that no workbook or Sunday morning can replicate. Advent and Easter, miracles and resurrection, grace and calling — these aren't just concepts to memorize here. They're experiences to inhabit, questions to wrestle with, and stories to encounter alongside a community of peers who are asking the same things you are.

Small groups are at the heart of the week. Campers move through experiential learning alongside the same group of peers all week, building the kind of trust and honesty that turns a faith conversation from a classroom exercise into something real. Pastors lead with depth and warmth, creating space for doubt and discovery in equal measure — because both are part of a living faith.

And because this is camp, the week is also genuinely fun. An offsite outing, a service project that puts faith into action, and all the classic elements of a great camp week — the pool, crafts, the Group Interaction Course, and more — give Campfirmation a fullness that confirmation programs held in church buildings simply can't match.

Campers go home having experienced what they believe — and having found a community that believes it alongside them.
