Camp kick off ideas lds

Young Women's & LDS Stuff

It's time for a new year and a new youth theme. This is an awesome theme and scripture for our youth today. Here we go! Look Unto ChristI have so enjoyed putting together a youth theme Kick-off night for all of you. This year I'm planning ahead and posting this early. So not everything has been tried and tested with a group of Young Women - but it has been tested by myself and my own YW daughter.Opening ExercisesBegin the night with a prayer, the young women theme followed by the NEW THEME…

The YCLs did a great job of kicking off camp as soon as the younger levels arrived! In our stake, the YCLs get a day and night to themselves at camp with certain privileges. They help to prepare camp and receive leadership, spiritual, and practical training. Because our stake is SO spread out, it makes it too difficult to have YCL meetings ahead of time. Instead we have one huge YCL overnighter a few weeks before camp, and then YCL day at camp. We have to squeeze all our meetings and…

Girls Camp is in a little over a week, and I can't wait!We had our camp kickoff a few weeks ago, and I thought I would share a few of the photos with you! We had all the wards make a flag that will be at their ward's camp site, and bring it to the kickoff. These are the flags. They are on pvc posts, and will be held up using re-bar at camp. The wards were asked to make their flag in the size of a king-sized pillow sham, using their ward's name, theme and color. If you remember my post about…

So, this year I went to Girls Camp as the "Crafts Lady". It was my 11th year at Girls Camp and my 2nd time as the "Crafts Lady". Honestly, I never know quite what to do as the Crafts Lady. All I know for certain, is I don't want to do the crafts we did when I was girl... no offense to any of the women who were in charge of the crafts I participated in as a young woman. I know they put a ton of time and effort into creating crafts specifically geared toward the theme of camp. But I remember…

We had our annual Girls Camp Kick Off for YW. This is the night we introduce the theme, have parents fill out paperwork, give them an o...

Your Once Upon A Time is Now, Girls Camp 2013 We all have a story, unique and entirely our own. Yours is being written right now, and you are the author. The paths you will take are entirely up to you. As our stories progress there will be dragons to face and battles to fight. There are decisions big and small that will need to be made. Our fairy tale has a wise King, Father of Heaven and Earth. We are daughters of this king. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? If we…

I decided to host Cousin Camp at my house this week. I don't know why. Call me crazy. At least I limited it to the kids that are close in age to my kids. The kids have 14 cousins on my side ranging in age from 22 to 4. I don't think I could wrangle and entertain such a diverse group! Our craft to day was Cousin Camp pillow cases. They were a hit. I just used Office Depot iron ons to make the transfers, and had the kids color them before we ironed them in place. I have no idea how well they…

After seeing my Girls Camp Pocket Post, you are probably wondering, "What are all the note cards in the pockets?" Well let me tell you...... They........ are.....SUNSHINE NOTES! My sister Candace came up with Sunshine Notes years ago, and they have become a tradition for her and I to initiate them into the different girls camps we are involved in. Simply place colored or white lined notecards on a picnic table with stickers, markers and pens; then watch the fun begin! The girls and leaders…

About a month ago I got a text from the young women’s president asking if I could fill in for one of the presidency members in planning a combined activity. The conversation went something li…

I was recently asked to review a book by Marcy McPhee & Julia Blake called Girls Camp - Idea for Today's Leaders. I have to say I really enjoyed this book.

Of all the years I've been to Girls Camp, this is BY FAR, THE BEST, EASIEST way to store secret sister gifts. I have used boxes, cans, bags etc. and none compare to these PLASTIC SHOE HOLDERS! This is seriously the BEST investment for Girls Camp! Use them year after year, they store FLAT and are easy to put up. Hang up the pockets by threading rope through the holes at the top. Take a hole punch and punch holes down the sides of the shoe holders. Take wire or twine and tie each shoe holder…

BumbleDo: Secret Sister Gifts

Project 17 of 52 I am all about structure. Having the schedule posted at girls camp was a must for me. We wanted to encourage the girls to go to all the activities and lead the younger girls. Knowing the schedule of activities and menu allowed them (I hoped) to step out and lead with minimal adult intervention. (At least that was the plan) We had each of the girls list their top menu choices for each meal. Then we compiled them for the weeks menu. It was simple. Most of the girls wanted the…

Youth, single adults and others volunteer at stake day camp for Primary kids to model how other wards and stakes could integrate Children and Youth.
