Interfaith Youth Leadership Camp
The Des Moines Area Religious Council and The Comparison Project at Drake University are proud to co-host the Interfaith Youth Leadership Camp July 9-13 at Drake University. High School students and 2024 graduates will explore the diverse religious communities of the Des Moines Metro, visiting communities for worship services, meals, and conversations. Each camper will explore their own faith journey and learn about their neighbors’ faith experiences, practices, and beliefs.
Participation in the Interfaith Youth Leadership Camp is offered at no cost thanks to our generous partners and supporters.
Applications are accepted online here on a rolling basis until May 31.

“I became more aware of the similarities between every system of beliefs and that all are built on love… there are so many ways to worship, and all are unique and valuable.”
— Audrey Martin, 2023 camp participant
