The Confirmation Retreat is an annual weekend retreat hosted by Monroe Camp & Retreat Center for all those going through the Confirmation process. We realize that each church has different programs and confirmation classes at different times of the year. Our expectation is that our retreat will be a supplement to any program that you put on at your church. That also means, that we expect participants to be at all different stages in their confirmation journey whether this be the beginning, middle or end. The retreat begins at 7pm Friday and continues until 10am on Sunday. We ask that you send 1 adult for every 8 youth and one adult of each gender of the youth that’s represented. We will begin with filling up McKnight Lodge and then, cabins. Come, enjoy growing in your faith with other Presbyterian (USA) youth and adults from around our area. Join us for a time of fun, faith and fellowship!

Speaker: Ken MacDonald
An elder at Raeford Presbyterian and where Ken has also been a youth leader for about 20 years. He has a wife two children of his own who are grown and are still speaking to him.

The band Obstreperous (adj. noisy and difficult to control) is high school students Mackenzie McGehee, Will Slack, Ramon Rivera, Stephanie Slack, Destiny Knight, Zoe Maddox, and Diana Maddox. Their favorite genre is Christian Worship in the Hillsong style, but since they can’t play it, they just play loud. They’ve been compared to Chris Tomlin: “They’re nothing like him.” But they do love God, enjoy music and occasionally sound pretty good.
