Camp Information
You are going to be part of this very special weekend where our focus will be Encountering Jesus, where we will experience the places Jesus walked, taught and ministered.
At Camp Bible we recognize how important it is for us to use our Bibles, since God continues to talk to us through words and stories. Not only will we share in the adventure of learning about our Bibles, we will share in camp life as well. Get ready to look at the stars, eat outside, play games, shoot arrows, dance, do crafts and so much more.

Confirmation Connection Retreat 2018
January 19-21, 2018
Confirmation Connection is a new retreat-style confirmation program in the North Texas Conference that partners with local UMC Churches to provide a connectional confirmation experience. The Curriculum for the weekend is developed from Credo and other confirmation Curriculum that allows it to fit well with what UMC Churches are already doing with their Confirmation classes.
Who: Junior High and Senior High Youth
When: January 19-21, 2018
Where: Bridgeport Camp and Conference Center
Cost: $100 before December 31, 2017, and $125 after December 31, 2017
The idea behind Confirmation Connection Retreat is simple. We want to give small to medium size churches a resource to help with confirming their students. By connecting with other small churches seeking to confirm their students we can create an environment where students are learning together along side their peers.
Our retreat works well as a confirmation kick-off event, mid way point, or closing retreat based on when your church begins and ends confirmation. It can also act as a confirmation program for churches that don't currently have something to offer their students. Each church will receive more detailed confirmation lessons to use at their discretion.
Our Weekend Schedule includes worship, activities and 6 lessons that are designed to give students a basic overview of information taught in traditional confirmation programs. Students are divided into family groups based on their age and grade in order to help foster age appropriate discussion within those family groups.
Check-in begins at 6:30 p.m. on Friday and camp ends at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday morning.
Any questions regarding NTC Confirmation Retreat, please contact Joseph Bradley at the NTC Conference Office, joseph@ntcumc.org or 972-526-5011.
