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!

Campers arrive on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. and conclude with closing worship on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. During their stay, they’ll 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.

This camp is also ideal for first-time campers and parents—providing a supportive and welcoming environment to begin the camp journey.

Safety is a top priority. All adult volunteers are required to have current Ministry Safe Certification and Background Checks before participating.

Confirmation Retreat

Stay tuned for 2026 dates and information

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.

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.

A Retreat-Style Confirmation Experience

Confirmation Retreat is a weekend retreat designed to support Conference churches in providing a connectional and enriching confirmation experience. Held at Bridgeport Camp and Conference Center, this camp is perfect whether you're just beginning, halfway through, or wrapping up your confirmation program.

Camp begins Friday evening and ends with the closing on Sunday morning. Over the weekend, confirmands will explore five foundational lessons:

  • What Is Theology?

  • Old & New Testament

  • What It Means to Be United Methodist

  • Sacraments & Communion

  • Baptism & Vows

Whether your church has a full curriculum or none at all, this retreat is a valuable resource. Our approach fits alongside most confirmation programs—or can stand on its own as a primary experience.

In addition to meaningful learning, campers will enjoy classic camp activities, including games, small-group bonding, and s’mores by the fire. One of the highlights? Forming friendships through mixed small groups with students from other churches.

All adult volunteers are required to have current Ministry Safe Certification and Background Checks.
