Confirmation Retreat
Held Annually in the Fall
Confirmation Retreat is a meaningful and welcoming way for students to begin—or continue—their confirmation journey. Throughout the weekend, students build relationships, ask questions, and experience the connectional ministry that makes the United Methodist Church so special.
Students hear from trusted UMC leaders from local churches as they explore the history of the United Methodist Church, the Bible, the sacraments, and what it means to be part of a church connected through shared faith, mission, and ministry.
More than a weekend of learning, Confirmation Retreat gives students an opportunity to experience worship, fellowship, small groups, camp activities, and friendships with confirmands from other churches.
Whether your church has a full confirmation curriculum or is looking for additional resources, the retreat is designed to complement the confirmation experience and help students discover that they are part of something much bigger than their own local church.
Confirmation Retreat will return in Fall 2027. Registration will open in Summer 2027. Check back for dates and additional information!

Camp Bible
Held Annually in September | For 3rd–5th Grade Students
Camp Bible is a special overnight camp designed just for our younger campers in grades 3–5. It’s the perfect introduction to the Bridgeport Camp experience—full of faith, fun, and friendship!
During their stay, campers explore their faith, delve into Scripture, and enjoy classic camp activities such as games, worship, and community building.
We call it Camp Bible because we focus on helping campers grow comfortable using the Bibles they’ve received from church or family. It’s an engaging way to nurture spiritual curiosity in a setting surrounded by God’s creation.
Camp Bible is also ideal for first-time campers and parents, providing a supportive and welcoming environment to begin the camp journey.
Camp Bible will return in September 2027. Registration will open in Summer 2027. Check back for dates and additional information!
