September 2025 at Bridgeport Camp
Camp Bible 2024's theme was “Building the Body!” We explored scripture that highlights how we use our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness to support and grow the church.
Camp Bible is open to Third—through fifth-grade students who are invited to Bridgeport Camp for an overnight experience of God, nature, and community. Camp begins at 10 a.m. Saturday and ends with closing worship at 10 a.m. Sunday. This camp is a great place for first-time campers and their parents. Our campers will spend time at camp learning, worshiping, and playing games.
We call this camp “Camp Bible” because we see it as a great opportunity for our campers to learn to use the Bibles they have gotten from their churches or families. Safety at camp is of the utmost importance to us. As with all of our camps, we require Ministry Safe Certificates and Background Checks for all adult volunteers who attend camp.

Confirmation Camp
October 2025
We had another amazing Confirmation Connection Retreat at Bridgeport Camp and Conference Center in October 2024. We hope you will consider sending your confirmands to join the fun in October 2025.
Our Confirmation Connection is a retreat-style confirmation camp in the North Texas Conference that partners with local UMC churches to provide a connectional confirmation experience. This camp occurs at Bridgeport Camp and Conference Center in Bridgeport, Texas.
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.
Camp begins on Friday night and ends on Sunday morning. During the camp, our confirmands will be led through five different lessons: what is theology, Old and New Testament, what it means to be United Methodist, Sacraments and Communion, and Baptism and Vows. Our goal is to give a broad overview of the basics of confirmation. This content fits well in any confirmation curriculum our churches might be using.
Along with the lessons, our campers can expect fun games, activities, and other camp favorites like S’mores! While our camp focuses on learning the lessons, we also work hard to ensure that campers have a good time. One of our campers’ favorite parts is mixing and matching our small groups with confirmands from other churches.
Email Christine Pierce if you have any questions.
