Confirmation Retreat
April 13-15, 2007

“The Wall” is one of the most talked about activities on the Confirmation retreat. It is 14 feet tall with no handholds, and the goal is to get the entire group over. It sounds hard, and it is; but every group manages to do it, and this year, almost every person went over. This exercise built teamwork and showed the importance of planning before just jumping into action.

A lot of free time was planned into the weekend, which gave everyone the opportunity to take advantage of whatever opportunities appealed to him or her. Pictured activities are a swinging rope bridge, Frisbee, card games, and a dance party.

An ongoing tradition for the Confirmation retreat is to paint wooden birdhouses. At the end of the weekend, everybody signed each other’s birdhouse to serve as a lasting reminder of the experiences on the retreat.

 

On Sunday morning, the Confirmands organized and led their own worship service. Pictures from the drama are shown below.
