Confirm? as a Christian? Which denomination are you from?
Historically, children were baptised when they were young. When they grow older and develop a better understanding of their faith, they undergo a confirmation of their faith by retaking the vows (if they choose to do so).
It is as simple as that.

Doesn't seemed like a very scriptural practise... A traditional I guess?

Confirmation plus baptism? Different denomination and even churches within denomination will have different practices la.
The camp is to bring the participants to a same level of understanding on the fundamental teachings, and to know each other for future fellowship, i guess.
But i think camps can also be different, some more dramatic than others.

I think it depends on whether you're a Calvinist or... Amenian? You know what i mean.
For those who think that the baptism is a "guarantee, chop" for the child to get to heaven no matter what the child decides to do with his or her life when they grow up, then infant/child baptism makes sense.
But i'm of the view that baptism as an adult is more meaningful, cuz it's the adult making a conscious choice and going through the process of baptism.
