A Decade of Faith Exploration | Des Moines News

For ten years, a unique Iowa camp has guided teens through a spiritual exploration journey, blending faiths and fostering self-discovery — thanks to Drake University and the Des Moines Area Religious Council. Born from a 2012 dialogue series, the camp now features immersive visits to Buddhist temples, Sikh and Muslim centers, synagogues, Hindu temples, and Christian churches.
