First Post Of The Year

Hi Ladies,
I hope you all are as excited as we for camp this year. We want to make sure you know what information you need to bring to the meeting on Sunday March 28th @ 7:00. We need as close of a count as you can get for us, as well as a list of Jr. Leaders names and contact info. We would also like you to call a Jr. Leader to be in charge of communicating with the the Jr. Leader Adviser. We are happy to have Sister Marie Jones to fill that position. We are also excited to tell you that Sister Sandy Mills and her husband Troy will be the camp FOOD Specialists! So be extra nice to them so they will be extra nice to us!

We hope that you are all having success in planning this special experience for these special daughters for God. If you need any thing feel free to call.

Thanks for all you do!

What Is Camp?

What Is Camp?
Camp is an outdoor experience for young women ages
12–18 where they will have opportunities to:
• Draw closer to Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.
• Feel the influence of the Spirit.
• Serve others.
• Build friendships and unity.
• Learn skills.
• Appreciate God’s creations.
• Have fun!
Camp is essential to the Young Women program. Camp is
significant in strengthening young women’s testimonies and
is an experience to build upon all year. Camp is challenging,
but it is worth it!

Where Is Camp?
• A safe place set apart from the world—in nature.
• A place where young women can feel the Spirit. (See
Moses 1:1–25.)

Why Do We Have Camp?
Camp is an opportunity for young women to practice patterns of gospel living away from worldly influences and the challenges they may face in their daily lives. Everything we do
at camp should help young women come unto Christ by:
• Confirming their identity as daughters of God.
• Recognizing and cultivating the Spirit.
• Keeping baptismal covenants.
• Preparing for their future roles.
How Do Young Women Leaders Begin Planning?
1. PREPARE SPIRITUALLY
• Pray to know what the Lord would have you do.
• Study scriptures and handbooks.
• Counsel together and seek counsel from priesthood
leaders.
• Recommend additional people to help, if needed.

2. COUNSEL WITH PRIESTHOOD LEADERS
Young Women leaders should receive guidance from priesthood leaders about:
• Purpose, goals, location, and schedule of camp.
• Budget guidelines.
• Safety and security.

3.PLAN WITH A PURPOSE
When you are planning Ask:
• What does Heavenly Father want to have happen in the
lives of our young women as a result of camp?
• Will the experience at camp increase faith in and testimony
of Jesus Christ and provide opportunities to follow
the living prophets?
• Will the experience meet the needs of young women
and help build relationships of trust and love?
• Will the experience help young women strengthen their
own families?

PLAN CAMP

With your purpose and theme in mind, plan experiences and activities that will help young women learn and have fun.
Ask:
• What do young women like to do?
• What do they need to learn?
• What can they learn at camp that they may not learn in
another setting?
Include a variety of experiences, such as:
• Learning from the scriptures
• Serving others
• Developing self-reliance skills
• Sharing music
• Experiencing quiet time for reflection
• Developing talents
• Participating in sports and games
• Improving fitness (hiking, swimming, and so forth)
• Strengthening and sharing testimonies
INCLUDE CERTIFICATION
The Young Women Camp Manual provides instruction for
certification.

Great Job!!

Carma and I had a fabulous time going to visit the camps. I wish we could have come and seen all the camps this year! What we heard about the ones we missed sounded GREAT!! All the time and hard work payed off. I especially enjoyed the way each ward interpreted and included the scripture theme. Congratulations on all your successes!

If there is any stories that you would like to share please do we all would love to read them.
I hope the rest of your summer is as fun as your camps were!!
Love,
Barb and Carma

Executive's Camp Devotional

Sing pg 239 Choose the Right

Call on some one to give a prayer.

I have the best recipe for chocolate chip cookies. It is to die for. Soft on the inside and just the right amount of crunch. Perfect to dunk in a tall cold glass of milk. I brought some with me. Who would like the first one?...... (Invite an individual from the audience to come and have the example cookie.)

Heavenly Father has blessed me with the ability to act for myself. I chose to dump a ton of extra salt into the cookie dough. How much better would these cookies have tasted if I would have followed the recipe?

Heavenly Father has given us a recipe to have a happy life which we know as the gospel. He reinforces this plan for us in many ways, through parents, teachers, leaders, bishops, prophets, scriptures, friends, and prayer to name several. Now that we have “the recipe” and our agency it is up to us to combine them and use them for our good the way that he has asked us to.

In D&C 82:10 (assign a junior leader to read the scripture.) we are told of a promise, a way to bind the Lord to protect us. Does that mean that we will have smooth sailing if we follow the recipe? Not necessarily. (Have a junior leader look up D&C 58:2 and read aloud.) Even in tribulation we must be obedient quickly. It reminds me of the primary song “When my mother calls me, quickly I obey”. Which is exactly what we need to do for our Heavenly Father, because it is for our safety and happiness that he created the recipe in the first place.

In his 2002 talk called “Models to Follow”, President Monson tells the story of Ruth. (Assign a junior leader to read the quote.)

Because Ruth was obedient one of her biggest blessings was becoming an ancestor to Christ. (Bare your testimony of how living an obedient life will bless you and your posterity here and in the eternities to come.)

Quotes and Scriptures:

A model of ideal womanhood is Ruth. Sensing the grief-stricken heart of her mother-in-law Naomi—who suffered the loss of each of her two fine sons—feeling perhaps the pangs of despair and loneliness that plagued the very soul of Naomi, Ruth uttered what has become that classic statement of loyalty: “Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.” Ruth’s actions demonstrated the sincerity of her words.

Through Ruth’s undeviating loyalty to Naomi, she was to marry Boaz, by which she—the foreigner and Moabite convert—became a great-grandmother of David and, therefore, an ancestor of our Savior Jesus Christ.-Thomas S. Monson

D&C 58:2 -For verily I say unto you, blessed is he that ^akeepeth my commandments, whether in life or in ^bdeath; and he that is ^cfaithful in ^dtribulation, the ^ereward of the same is greater in the kingdom of heaven.

D&C 82:10- I, the Lord, am ^abound when ye do what I say; but when ye do not what I say, ye have no ^bpromise

Executive Retreat April 22nd

On April 22nd. we will be meeting at the stake center @ 7:00pm for the first Girl's Camp Executive Retreat. We will be doing a "Manni/ Petti" Party and ALL of the girls 5th. level and above are invited. (If we could get a count of how many executives we have in each ward that would be appreciated!) We will be presenting the devotional that they will do @ camp and have refreshments. We are asking the camp directors to come and help us. (We will need all the hands we can get! HAHA)
