Confirmation is done. What now? Faith Ablaze is a weekend for high schoolers who want to take their faith to the next level: what it looks like after confirmation, and how it can make a difference in the world.

Campus pastors and college students lead the weekend, so the people working through the big questions with you aren’t far from where you are. You’ll be in a cabin group with college-age counselors, dig into Bible study, and choose the workshops and activities that interest you most. There’s great music and jam sessions, crafts and games, the climbing wall, an afternoon of snow tubing, interactive worship, and free time to hang out with the new friends you’ll make.

Bringing a youth group? Adult leaders are welcome to stay at camp for the weekend. There’s no leadership role to fill; we only ask that you check in with your youth at a few set times.

Take a look around.
