Join us for a Confirmation Retreat at Rainbow Trail this fall and let us be partners with you in creating a fun atmosphere for learning in your confirmation program! We will sing songs, play games, learn together and play together in God’s beautiful creation.
Learning in a fun-filled camp atmosphere may be just what your kids need to bond together as a group and build relationships with other confirmands. Spend time in fellowship and learning with our extraordinary Rainbow Trail staff in the place your confirmands have grown to love. Our staff will lead your kids in crafts, team-building activities, outdoor activities such as hiking or archery, fun games and camp-style songs!

REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
2026 Retreat Speaker – Cam Regennitter, RTLC Assistant Director
The true camp experience! As Cam will help guide the weekend through sessions centered around our retreat theme, Rainbow Trail staff leads worship, small-group conversations, games, activities, and other opportunities to learn and connect. Together, Cam and the rest of staff create a weekend that invites students to ask questions, grow in their faith, build relationships, and “just be!”
RETREAT FEES
- Youth – $150 (non-refundable, $50/youth deposit due at registration; final balance is due upon arrival at Retreat)
- Adult – $110 (non-refundable, $35 deposit due at registration; ; final balance is due upon arrival at Retreat)
Fees cover the cost of food, lodging, and all of the great weekend activities!
If the church wants to pay for the deposit, the parent or adult leader can start the registration online and complete forms, until it is ready for the deposit payment. The registration should remain “in the cart.” The church can call our business office (719-276-5233) at that time, and we will complete the registration for the youth participant or adult leader.
If the church wishes to pay the balances due, they may send a check to Rainbow Trail Business Office, 107 S 9th, Suite B, Canon City, CO 81212, or pay by credit card by phone (719-276-5233) if it is prior to the retreat. Outstanding balances due for individuals from a particular church can be obtained through our business office at info@rainbowtrail.org.
ADULT TO YOUTH RATIO
We require a minimum adult to youth ratio of 1:6 for each congregational group. This ratio applies to each gender separately. (For Example: 3 female and 9 male youth require 1 female sponsor and 2 male sponsors.)

More About Cam Regennitter:
Cam has been part of the Rainbow Trail community since he was an intro camper, joining summer staff in 2015 and now serving on full-time staff since 2019. As Assistant Director, Cam truly loves what he does and the opportunity to help young people experience faith, community, and all that makes Rainbow Trail special.
When given the opportunity to help lead this year’s Confirmation Retreat, Cam jumped right in! Drawing from years of working with campers, summer staff, and congregations, Cam will help guide our retreat through sessions and conversation throughout the weekend. We’re excited for confirmation students to learn, laugh, ask questions, and explore their faith alongside someone who knows and loves the ministry of Rainbow Trail so well.
“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28 (NIV)
