Confirmation Camps Confirmation Camp allows students to experience the Christian faith as well as learn about the Christian community in a fresh and fun context. Students are able to build stronger relationships with each other, with their Pastor/Leader, and with God – all while experiencing the fun of being at camp! All confirmation programs involve the students in regular camp activities like swimming, hiking, campfires, crafts and games, while also setting time aside for confirmation-specific learning. All confirmation programs require that a Pastor or Adult Leader from the congregation attend with their students.

Confirmation at Lutheran Memorial Come together with groups from a number of other congregations, as confirmation-specific sessions are combined with other camp activities. Week One (June 17-22) will follow the “One in the Spirit” curriculum, primarily led by LMC staff. Week Two (June 24-29) campers will be immersed in the story of Exodus; LMC and pastors partner in developing and planning your time at camp. Confirmation campers will have an opportunity to experience the Climbing Wall, Zip Line, swimming, outposting, and other traditional camp activities. We welcome, in fact encourage, input and involvement of the pastors in attendance for this program to compliment confirmation at your church.

The rest of the campers’ time is spent in the Shining Stars program. Campers from the same congregation are normally assigned to the same cabin group. Campfirmation campers also go canoeing on the Mohican River. Mowana: June 17-22, July 8-13, July 15-20, July 22-27, August 5-10 Fee: $390 per person online at anytime or with the paper group registration received by March 31 or $430 individual paper registration at anytime or group registration if received after March 31

Confirmation at Mowana Confirmation Camp at Mowana offers an in-depth experience focusing on a specific aspect of the faith.

Cabin groups are made up of campers from multiple congregations. Contact Camp Mowana if you are interested in participating in this program.

Youth Leadership LOMO’s Staff-in-Training (S.I.T.) program is designed to help senior high-age youth develop leadership skills, as well as prepare for possible future summer employment at camp. While S.I.T.’s are still campers, they have the opportunity to learn about and experience what it’s like to actually work at camp. S.I.T.’s receive basic leadership training, have the opportunity to lead hands-on camp activities, and work alongside an experienced camp counselor.

Staff-in-Training (S.I.T.) With so many youth attending the 2012 ELCA National Youth Gathering, we are giving prospective S.I.T.ers the summer off. But stay tuned… Because, coming in 2013, we will offer an expanded and improved Staff-in-Training Program! We’ll see you in 2013!

Online Registration Discount: All fees are discounted by $50 per person for people who register and pay online – when you register online the fee already reflects this discount. Family Recruitment Discount: $125 for your family. This discount is for families who have camped with us in the past and are recruiting a family that has not previously participated in any of the LOMO summer family camp programs. Please list the last name of the family you have recruited. First Time Family Discount: $50 per person if you are a new family to any LOMO week long family camp program. Trailers, RV’s, and Tent Sites: Week-long campers will receive a $200 discount per family when they initially register to bring their own tent or RV. Finnish Heritage Family Camp is already discounted, therefore no other discounts apply besides the $50 online registration discount. There are not any family camp partial week discounts other than the discounted online registration fee. See registration, deposit, payment, refund, cancellation and campership information for more information. 14
