CONFIRMATION CAMP

Camp Io-Dis-E-Ca

You who are loved by God! Do you want to have fun with your brothers and sisters in Christ this Summer? Then come on out to Confirmation Camp in Solon, IA, to spend some time studying the Ten Commandments and our life of Confession and Absolution from July 27-31. Over the four-day camp led by Pastor Chris Hull, you will study the Catechism, the Scriptures, learn about Lutheran heritage, and spend time in worship and fellowship with other believers. Don’t miss this opportunity to grow in the faith so we may be assured of Jesus’ love for us!

Pastor Chris Hull is husband to his wife Allison, and father to five crazy boys, Lonny, Manny, Ty, Jamie and Killian and one girl, Avonlea. He is the senior pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church and Student Center in Macomb, IL. He graduated from Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne in 2010. He is currently in the Doctor of Ministry program at Fort Wayne. Pastor Hull is a regular speaker and contributor to Higher Things resources.

The faith is important to your kids and to the youth of your church. Higher Things wants to make the gifts of Jesus known to them just as much as you do. After a summer of taking a break from studying the catechism, the HT confirmation camp is a fantastic opportunity to dust off those catechisms and deep dive into two Chief Parts before the year begins. There are also tons of benefits to kids when they get to experience time away from their normal life in an environment like a camp. 

Give them that experience at Camp Io-Dis-E-Ca and let them have fun with all sorts of camp activities like horseback riding, rock climbing, zip lining, canoeing, and campfires.

Registration is open to both groups and individuals, meaning confirmands can come with their classmates and a chaperone or register individually and be chaperoned by one of Camp Io-Dis-E-Ca’s camp counselors. This event is open to all youth.
