Our Confirmands gave their presentations this past Sunday entitled “My Journey of Faith”.  They were amazing!  Wanted you to know that at least 4 (or more) of the 8 kids made reference to their experiences at camp at Merom and/or the Confirmation Retreat and the positive effect these experiences had on their journeys Because camp at Merom is one of the best things that has ever happened to me.

It really is "a place to get away from everything you had". Being at Merom just lets all your emotions out, and it is kind of like therapy or something in a way, because you just know that everyone loves you and cares about you there. You really feel loved and welcomed. And more than likely, you find kids there your own age that have problems similar to your's, even at a small camp like CS. I know I found out several things about people, and people know more about me as well, than I think that would be known by people outside of that camp. The councelors and the directors are always there. The people/helpers are always there to push you on and keep you running. I conquered my fear of heights on the high ropes (and even managed a few flips in the air), I found I wasn't a nobody. I could do something worth while, and still have fun. And you have to admit..
