WHAT is Young Women 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!
WHY 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.
When young women return home from participating in camp, they can have an improved understanding of their identity and of their relationship with Heavenly Father—an understanding similar to Moses’s after his experience on the mountaintop (see Moses 1:1–25). This understanding will lead young women to:
• Continue to seek the companionship of the Holy Ghost: “For his Spirit hath not altogether withdrawn from me” (Moses 1:15).
• Resist temptation and make righteous choices: “I can judge between thee [Satan] and God” (v. 15).
• Pray: “I will not cease to call upon God” (v. 18).
• Be worthy of the direction and companionship of the Holy Ghost: “Being filled with the Holy Ghost” (v. 24).
• Rely on the Savior’s strengthening power: “Thou shalt be made stronger” (v. 25).
