On Sunday, July 12 at 3:30pm in Meredith Hall 101 (1316 28th Street), we will screen the digital stories created by our campers at our 2026 Interfaith Youth Leadership Camp. A brief reception will follow.
Below please find information about this year’s camp:
This year (July 8-12) marks the 10th consecutive year of the interfaith youth leadership camp that we program in partnership with the Des Moines Area Religious Council. Campers at the camp learn about religious traditions and interfaith leadership, visit places of worship throughout the metro area, and create digital stories about personal faith experiences (that are screened for the public the last day of the camp). Through generous funding from Drake and DMARC, we provide housing (in the dorms at Drake), food (through Drake’s food service and the places of worship we visit), and a $250 “scholarship.”
Below, you can find a short “teaser” video from past camps and flyers for this year’s camp.
