CONFIRMATION CAMP
February 2013 was the beginning of something good. The first Confirmation Retreat weekend at Lakeview Methodist Conference Center kicked off with students and adults from across the Texas Annual Conference converging at Lakeview for a weekend of learning, worship and fellowship.
As one unified group students viewed Credo video, heard teaching from conference clergy on the topic, and then joined together in their grade-specific small groups for hands-on learning, discussion and play with their fellow students and small group leaders.
The inagural Camp was such a success that this year Lakeview will be offering two opportunities for churches to attend.
OPPORTUNITIES
Confirmation camp offers a unique opportunity for confirmation-aged students, particularly from smaller churches, to begin the Credo Curriculum with others their age from across the Texas Annual Conference. While students and small group leaders meet, youth group leaders and confirmation leaders have an opportunity to gather together for a time of learning and preparing for continuing the Credo Confirmation process once they are home.
Since many of the youth group leaders and church representatives are meeting during the small group time, this affords a wonderful opportunity for older high school and college-aged students from the conference to serve alongside mentor clergy and laity as small group leaders. These students offer their time in service to the younger members of the church, growing in their leadership skills and confidence as well as continuing to bridge the gap between camper and counselor.
