Leaders: Time to Think About Planning Evening Campsite Devotionals!

Attention Leaders:

These are the themes for each day.  In the evening, as you return to your campsite, you will be asked to have a ward devotional with your girls. 

Tuesday:  Stand for Something (or You'll Fall for Anything)- Ward Shoe
The first night, we would love for you to focus on your ward 'shoe'.  How will remembering your ward shoe and motto help the girls through their lives?  The devotional shouldn't be much longer than 5-10 min, but it should bring the spirit and allow you the opportunity to share your testimony with the girls.  If you would like to include an activity or something as well to help it sink in, please do.  This is your time to connect with your girls and set the spirit for camp. 

**Please remember that the YCLs will have numerous opportunities to teach and share with the girls throughout camp- the evening devotionals are your chance to do so as their young women's leader. 

Wednesday:  Faith in Every Footstep
We will do a spiritual 'Walk with the Savior" this evening.  You will remain with your youth so you can share with them in learning of and appreciating different moments in the Savior's life that we can turn to as an example of walking with faith.  You may want to choose a story from His life or a virtue He exemplified to share with your girls.  Follow the spirit in choosing what your young women would most benefit from.

Thursday:  Lift Where You Stand*  (Bishops share evening devotional with ward)
This day you will not need to prepare a devotional, as the Bishop will be sharing a devotional with the girls.  You may want to have a game or activity prepared, but determine with the bishop what he would prefer. 

Friday:  The Worth of 'Soles' is Great in the Sight of God (YW leaders share testimonies with girls)
On this, the last night of camp, we will be holding the young women testimony meeting just before the ward devotional.  We ask that the leaders use the time in their wards after the camp testimony meeting to share their testimonies with the girls.  Make sure they know where YOU stand when it comes to the gospel. 

I hope this offers some guidance- in conclusion, you will only need to prepare something for Tuesday and Wednesday night.  Thursday is the bishop's night, Friday is your testimony.
