Dear Young Women Leaders and Camp Directors:
In an effort to lighten the responsibilities you carry for the young
women in our stake, we have decided that no pre-camp activities will
occur prior to June 6, 2010 @ 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. On this date we
will hold a meeting to brief camp directors on their duties at camp.
The skit, flag, and certification requirements will all occur at camp.
Skits will be done with props that each ward/branch brings to camp
for the purpose of a live skit. Flags will be made with materials and
supplies provided for you upon arrival at camp. All certification
achievement will be incorporated into the scheduled camp hours.
There will be time allotted during camp to prepare each of these
activities for presentation and learning.
Please help facilitate the ideas and production of the flag and skit, but
let the young women have the experience of planning, preparing and
creating them. You may begin work on your skit, flag or certification
prior to camp if you choose, but know that this is not necessary and
will each be included as part of the 4-day experience at Camp Misty
Mount.
EMAIL SISTER HARDY by February 8.

Thank you all for your service to this great cause. Camp is essential to the Young Women program. "Young women
can find joy in an outdoor setting that will strengthen their love for each other and the gospel and their commitment to
stand together as 'witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places.'” -Young Women Camp Manual (2002), 1
Sincerely,
Emily Hardy, Stake YW Camp Co-Director
