confirmation Camp
We have arranged confirmation camps since 1960 - for over 60 years! Here we give you a memorable camp together with young people from all over Sweden, which may influence you for the rest of your life! At our confirmation camp, you get guidance in life's most important questions, can discover who Jesus is and decide whether he means anything to you. That there will also be some nice, fun and content-rich summer weeks, you get that in the bargain. We as leaders look forward to meeting you and creating a memorable summer together!

- Go on confirmation camp is a fun experience that you will never forget!
Confirmation - what is it really?
Confirmation means confirmation and is about confirming one's baptism. In infant baptism, parents are asked if they want their child to be baptized into the Christian faith, and in confirmation, the confirmand is then asked to confirm his baptism and answer yes to God. If you have not been baptized since before, the opportunity for baptism will be available during the camp.
Leader…
The leadership team consists of young people and adults from different parts of Sweden, several of whom have themselves been confirmed at Sandvikengården. A great group that plans and prepares so that you, as a confirmand, will have the best confirmation time possible. Having said that, we want to encourage you to take this opportunity, take with you questions and thoughts about life and Christian faith, and give God a chance.
What do we do during the confirmation camp?

We want to give you as a confirmand the opportunity to discover who God is and to grow in faith in him. We have teaching about the Christian faith, devotions and services. There will be an opportunity to ask questions about life and faith such as - can God exist and what does it mean to me? Who is Jesus? Why did he die and rise again? What is important in this life? What is forgiveness and what is love?
We also want to build a good community through play, conversation, adventure, bathing and very good food. On the farm there are canoes as well as football and volleyball pitches, so sports and outdoor activities are also included. During the camp, we go on a joint canoe trip with an overnight stay in a tent or under the open sky.
What is required for me to be with?
We take up to 44 catechist, so be sure to sign up in time! To confirm you, you should fill in the year 15 years or more. The confirmation is the confirmation of your baptism, you are not already baptized, you will be able to do it during the camp.
