It’s time to start preparing for this year’s Young Women’s Camp. I thought I would write about our 2014 camp for any of those Camp Directors out there looking for ideas. Our cam…

Evening in Excellence We decided on DOTS for our Evening in Excellence theme. (DOTS=Daughters Obeying the Savior) My friend and Mia Maid leader, Melody Larsen, came up with so many great ideas to help develop this theme. She said she woke up in the middle of the night and they all came to her. We held a Polka Dot Picnic at the church and asked them to wear polka dots if they had them. This was our program (front and back cover) I snapped photos (head shots) of each girl right after church. It took me about 3 Sundays to get everyone. I love having a picture of them all grouped together. I keep a copy on my phone and love to look at each of those beautiful faces. However, the real reason I took the photos is so that I could make a dot-to-dot picture of each of them. I found a website that made it easy. If you're interested click here. I found that if I downloaded the photos into Facebook and copied them from there it worked (It only took me hours to figure that one out) Dot-to-Dot "When we connect all the dots through obedience we can clearly see the whole picture" I have 30 yw so this took about 2-3 hours to do. I did a few each night over a week. We displayed the dot-to-dots on a refrigerator box opened up and covered in wrapping paper. We went crazy with our polka- dot theme and picnic. It was so fun. Thanks to Summer for grabbing my camera and taking some photos while I was preoccupied with other things. Melody made these centerpieces to hold the balloons. Really everyone needs a Melody to work with. The picnic dinner was placed in these polka-dot bags. It included a turkey/ham sandwich, chips, pasta salad, and a chocolate chip cookie. We had water bottles to drink. dressings and condiments were served on the side. It made for an easy and quick clean-up at the end. As they were leaving we gave them a box of DOTS candy. It was packaged with a polka-dot flower clip for their hair. I am sorry I did not snap a photo of it. Melody did a great job putting them together.

This year for YW in Excellence we decided to go with a Superhero theme. We liked how it coordinated with the “Be Strong and of a good courage” mutual theme and also went a long with the “For strength of youth.” Each girl will be wearing a cape in a value color. We are lucky …

Stake Leadership Theme- Youth Theme 2015: “Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day”...

I was called to head up the Stake YW Camp Activities Committee again this year. They still like me! I am serving with some incredible women and young women. I am so excited! :) * This is simply a collection of ideas had along the way of preparing for camp. After camp I will update the post with all the fun details. Now time for the sharing. :) ** YW Camp 2012 THEME The Stake YW Camp Committee chose the theme: "Burn Bright with His Light". (lighthouse/nautical) FYI - the logo is not one we are using for camp, I created it for use here. * SCRIPTURE Doctrine and Covenants 84:45,46 "For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is light, and whatsoever is light is Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ. And the Spirit giveth to every man that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit." * DAILY THEMES MONDAY: "Sail Forward with Faith" (I added this one for myself) :) TUESDAY "Beacons of Light", John 2:10 WEDNESDAY: "Be a Crew Member", Moroni 7:45 THURSDAY: "Let Your Light Shine", Matthew 5: 14-16 FRIDAY: "Find Your True North", Moroni 10:4-5 SATURDAY: "Keep His Light Burning Bright", 2 Nephi 31: 16-21 * 100th ANNIVERSARY SERVICE PROJECT This year, 2012, marks the 100th year of Young Women Camp. There are some wonderful ideas on how to celebrate and some great YW Camp history shared here. * We as an activities committee decided we are going to commemorate this milestone by having the young women make 100 fleece baby blankets - while at camp - to donate to Children's Hospital and the Margery Mason Center, which are both located in our area. After camp we will invite our senior girls to deliver the blankets in behalf of all the young women from our stake. * * ACTIVITIES We will have both a zip-line and a rappel set-up for the week. Both are among the favorite activities up at camp. Archery will also be offered as one of the activities. "May the odds be ever in your favor." :) Last year our theme was Step-Up, based around different dance styles. One of our daily activities was morning Zumba! Both the Young Women and Leaders seemed to love it! During dinner, on the last night of camp (when all the Stake Leaders, Bishops and their spouses were visiting), there was a flash mob! The girls were on fire as they performed the Zumba routine they had learned and practiced during the week. It was quite the unifying experience. Our dance instructor, among others, were overcome with emotion. It was a great activity we will do again this year - hopefully with a nautical twist. :) * GAMES * We always have board games available, just in case there is rain. I am thinking these are good choices for this year's theme: * Battleship Board Game A classic! * Ocean Bingo I happen to have this one in my game closet. If you're interested in one for yourself, you can purchase it here. :) * MESSAGES IN A BOTTLE Friendship Notes/Secret Sisters/Love Notes... whatever you may call it. What is camp without notes left on pillows? This year to go along with the nautical theme we are calling it "Messages In A Bottle". We are going to have bottle shaped die-cuts available for everyone to write little notes to each other throughout the week of camp. * I was thinking we could have a large tin sitting just inside the craft cabin with everything the girls need to write their messages. A large tin bucket filled with sand, to place pens in - pens topped with sailboat sails. A smaller tin bucket, buried in the sand, to place the die-cut paper bottles in. For fun we could place in the sand an actual bottle with a rolled up message in it. I found this wine bottle template here. I thought it might be a good pattern for our bottles. Wide enough, giving more room for messages. free pdf download here. * ALL CAMP NIGHT ACTIVITY idea Each cabin to have their own anthem/song. One which inspires and goes along with the theme. This could be something the cabin counselors have their girls practice before camp - or possibly on their own with a CD. They could use the song as part of their nightly cabin devotionals. Here are a few song ideas: Hold Your Torches High, Jenny Phillips/Tyler Castleton - sheet music Like a Lighthouse, Michael Webb - download sheet music Lighthouse in the Night, Jenny Phillips - sheet music Light On A Hill, Jenny Phillips - YouTube music video The Lord Is My Light - Hymn #89 This Little Light of Mine - I love this version! (listen below) by Addison Road On the night of the all camp night activity, have everyone gather together into one area, sitting in a circle, as cabins. In turn, each cabin will sing their song, while holding up their flashlights and/or lanterns. Then, everyone will sing the camp theme song in unison, with all the flashlights and/or lanterns held high. * SEA OF INSPIRATION more to come :) * NAUTICAL THEMED CRAFT ideas Bottle Cap Pennants Designed by the talented Janey Wilding. * Sea Glass Pennants Created by the talented Janey Wilding. * DIY Nautical Stripe Yarn Bracelets found here * Created by the talented Janey Wilding. * Nautical Inspired Nails This would be a fun station for the girls! idea found here * Nautical Inspired Mason Jar Lantern Created by the talented Janey Wilding. These are being filled with sand, small shells, and a tea light. Topped with lid - also with scripture printed on it. * DIY Lighthouse Lanterns tutorial here * Starfish Headband Adorable! Looks simple enough. An elastic headband. A couple mini starfish. And a glue gun. * DIY Hand-Stitched Anchor Keychain A square of felt, needle and thread. The girls could practice their sewing skills. :) idea found here * Sailor Knot Bracelet tutorial found here * Compass Ring idea found here The girls could make a simple version using ring blanks and mini compasses, like the ones found here. * DIY Nautical Headband tutorial here We will be making a yarn version of this headband. yarn tutorial found here. * Stamped Quote "My Port In The Storm" We will have washers (and possibly dog tags) available for the girls to stamp. Always a hit! * Shipwreck Aluminum Cuff Ring found here made using an aluminum ring blank tutorial found here * Painted Mason Jar Lantern Created by the talented Janey Wilding. This isn't nautical inspired, but it is cute. :) YW logo was created by placing a vinyl image (Cricut or Silhouette) onto the glass. Next spray the entire jar with spray paint, then remove the vinyl image. Simply tie it up with ribbon and place a tea light inside. * PERSONAL PROGRESS The young women will also have opportunities to work on their Personal Progress during the week at camp. More info to come... :) * DECOR ideas Nautical, Lighthouses, Sea Shells, * Wish Fish idea found here Something like this would be cute hanging above the doors of each cabin. The girls could each create a fish and add it to the line. Or you could have fish in the value colors, hanging near the Personal Progress area. * Nautical Flags photo found here Maritime Flags Font Download - it's free! I would love to create a banner spelling out the theme in nautical flags. The girls may even have fun writing messages to each other in nautical flag drawings. They would have to visit the Activities/Craft Cabin for both writing their letters and decoding. :) * Shark Head made from Recycled Fence found here Wouldn't this be fun to have on the mess hall door?

Girl's Camp Coloring Pages with 2024 youth theme ldslane.net

We have everything you could need for your special events for the 2017 LDS mutual theme, and we're offering it to you in this easy-to-print package!

I've been a part of the Young Women's program in our church for only two months now. For those of you who don't exactly know what I'm talking about or what that means, allow me to explain: Our church leadership is run solely on a volunteer basis. Although our bishop and bishopric members extend specific "callings" (responsibilities) to individual members, the acceptance of these callings is not required and all callings are fulfilled without pay. These callings could be anything from leading the music in a sacrament meeting, to teaching Sunday School, to in my case, working with the youth, specifically the teenage girls ages 12-18. One of the main purposes of the Young Women's program in our church is something called Personal Progress. Throughout their time in Young Women's, the girls work through projects and experiences dealing with 8 different life values: faith, divine nature, individual worth, knowledge, choice and accountability, good works, integrity and virtue. The projects and experiences could be anything from reading certain scriptures and writing down your thoughts on them... to doing 10hrs of service in the community... With 8 values, each requiring you to complete a number of experiences and a final "value project", it took me a few years to complete my Personal Progress when I was in Young Women's as a girl. Each year, the Young Women's program puts on a YW In Excellence night, where the girls come (with their parents) and showcase an experience or project that they worked on that year. Some girls learned how to cook with their mother's, so they brought her favorite snack samples for everyone to try; some learned the intricacies of family history work and were able to showcase all the names they were able to find and index; others shared journal excerpts or artwork... Just as boy scouts are rewarded with merit badges for archery or swimming, Young Women are honored for their knowledge and testimonies gained in all the important life values needed to live a successful, fulfilling life as a daughter of God. As part of the YW presidency, I offered to spearhead the YW In Excellence night. I had the girls pick out a theme for the event - they chose the Dr. Seuss book "Oh the Places You'll Go!" and I ran with it. Pinterest was my crutch through the whole thing, but I am living proof that some Pinterest projects WILL succeed! I probably took on way too much, because I'm horrible when it comes to delegating, but I don't regret a thing because it turned out perfectly and all the girls loved it :) Straws from Target for the BOMB punch: recipe here I had the girls make the tissue paper pom poms for our YW activity last Wednesday. We put them on wooden dowels and poured sand around them to get them to stay in the little metal pails - the perfect Truffala tree! I found these 'sprinkle' balloons here - they were perfect for the theme. We cut out tons of tissue paper confetti and stuffed it into the balloons before blowing them up. Extra confetti was sprinkled on the tables...it was too cute to waste :) The best snickerdoodles in all the land: recipe here One of my most favorite snacks is popcorn. And some of the most delicious popcorn is found at Garrett's in Chicago. They're known for their caramel-cheddar mix...so I tried to mock it. It turned out a lot better than expected, so I was pleased. Recipe here Yurtle Turtles: recipe here & rainbow Jello cubes: recipe here & obviously rainbow candy galore! They had their choice of paper bag or little plastic bowl to dish their snacks into The invite - I made this in Adobe Illustrator using free Dr. Seuss fonts found here One of my favorite decorations of the night were these Dr. Seuss 'value quotes' that I made in Illustrator and had printed for the value tables the girls set their projects up on. Each color indicates the specific value the quote is associated with. White (gray): Faith / Red: Individual Worth / Green: Knowledge / Gold: Virtue Orange: Choice and Accountability / Blue: Divine Nature / Purple: Integrity / Yellow: Good Works The program - made in Adobe Illustrator Invites, program, and all value quote prints are available in my Etsy shop! Made-to-order for you and your ward! Willing to negotiate based on need (ie. for Girls Camp rather than YW in Excellence or New Beginnings).

For our latest Young Women Activity, the girls really wanted to do a "Chopped" competition. They have been asking for quite some time, ...

I was recently asked to put together a program for the 12-18 year old girls at our church called New Beginnings. I decided to go with a Disney UP themed evening after seeing these two

Keep your LDS class learning with one of these 10 games

New Beginnings is such an exciting event, especially for the entering Beehives!! If you are new to the Young Women program you might be wondering what New Beginnings is.... on lds.org it states: "New Beginnings is an annual event for all young women and their parents. Young women who will reach the age of 12 in the coming year are also invited to attend with their parents. It may be held during Mutual. This event provides an opportunity for leaders to express their love for the young women, encourage parents to help their daughters in Personal Progress, and introduce new young women to the young women program. Possible subjects to address include: Explanation of Personal Progress. Presentation of the young women theme, logo, and motto. Recognition of the young women and their accomplishments in Personal Progress. Overview of the youth theme and a discussion of activities planned for the year." With that our Young Women's presidency set out to pan the activity with help from the girls and our board (aka advisers). The beautiful part about our church, is the fact that everybody's talents can be utilized to make something great happen. This is exactly what happened for this activity. Our amazing Young Women president came up with the theme and program for the night. Step one: Choose a THEME.... our theme went perfectly with the Mutual theme for 2016. We choose to have a "Wizard of Oz" theme. After watching the Mutual theme video, (click here for it), the program just seemed to come perfectly together around it. Step two: Plan and use the girls and leaders talents! We had a board meeting where everyone was given their assignments. As I said, utilize talents. Step Three: Prep work and bringing everything together. This is a big step, because so many people are involved doing different things. So I am going to break it into sub-steps. Decorations: Our secretary is AMAZINGLY talented! You can check her out at Her Tool Belt and Amys-Projects. She cut this beautiful temple out of some plywood, painted it and made the "There's No Place Like Home" sign. For the template and instructions for the temple and sign click HERE. The temple was just leaned up against the wall and the sign was actually hung from the bars of the basketball hoop. She also made the beautiful rainbow from balloons. Our Personal Progress specialist is a party decorating master!! Everything she has decorated for has turned out absolutely stuffing. She had made these beautiful poppie flowers for a wedding that we reused for our night. For a tutorial for these flowers, you can check this one out it is close to what she did: Tissue Paper Flowers. She also brought some white lights to string around the some areas in the cultural hall. The invites, Programs and paper handouts: This is where my specialties came in :) I had made these papers for my Beehives that we decided to give all of the girls for Personal Progress as well as our Book of Mormon Challenge. For those printables, here is the link to the post: Personal Progress Printables and Book of Mormon Reading Challenge For the invites I made these, here is a sample of what ours said as well as an editable version. To edit, just download the Free JPEG Image and edit it in a photo editing program such as Pic Monkey, Photo Shop, or Paint.net. Same thing with the Programs. Free Jpeg Downloads Program Cover & Program inside. We printed the programs at the church house on yellow copy paper. They turned out cute. We had them on a table at the entrance in a basket. (The font used on the program was Aller) Some more prep work went into the bricks for our yellow brick road!! One of our counselors took over this project. She printed the names and such off onto just plain yellow copy paper. Favor's and Take Homes: We like to spotlight our new incoming Beehives. To do this we have their parents fill out a little form. Here is that Free PDF Download. Then that night we gave them a little take home gift. Our YW President put together these cute jars of lemon drops. Here is the Free PDF Download that could go with it. Then we also did a fun little take home for all of the girls. These ruby slippers are adorable!! Just a little caution, everyone who made them said they were a mess to put together! You can get the template for the shoes from Amy here. Our ladies used mod podge and then sparked glitter on it. They turned out absolutely adorable. If you didn't want to have as big of a mess I am sure you could use glitter spray or purchase red glitter paper. In the shoes they put some gold nugget candies in a cellophane bag and tied it with blue gingham fabric. They were then all placed on a table at the front of the room and used as part of the decor. Refreshments: Homemade Bread and Jam in cute baskets with gingham fabric, YES please!! What a hit and a perfect way to end our night!! Step Four: The Event (AKA PROGRAM). It all came together into a fabulous night. So, I am just going to lay it out for you exactly, well close enough to how the night went. First, as the girls entered the door we gave them a yellow paper (aka brick) with another young women's name on it. They were instructed that there would be a time in the program that they would need to come up and say something AMAZING they have noticed in that girl. We also handed out additional papers (aka bricks) to the girls who had parts on the program, which were: We had a Laurel whose sign said Courage she stood for the lion; another Laurel's sign said Love and she stood for the Tin Man; another Laurel's sign said Wisdom and she stood for the Scarecrow. We had a sign that said Laurels, a sign that said Mia Maids, a sign that said Beehives, which was given to each of the respective class presidents. Then we had a paper for each of the Young Women values. Then a paper for each of the New incoming Beehives, a paper that had each of the leader's names on them and lastly a paper that said Press Forward. To begin the program we had an opening song, "Press Forward Saint". Then an opening prayer. Next, a young women led us in the Young Women Theme. Our Young Women's President then shared the calendar with the young women and their parents and talked a little about camp. Then I, spoke about Personal Progress (Showed the new beehives what they would be receiving when I came to meet with them and gave a little plug for the rest of the girls about Personal Progress. We gave all of them the Personal Progress Calendar (printable above) and spotlighted out girl who just received her Young Women Medallion. Here is the meat of the program.... We had a special guest Dorothy (one of our advisers) wandering around, saying that she knew where she wanted to go, but she just didn't know how to get there. Our Young Women President told her that we could help her. So first we had our Courageous Lion (aka laurel) come up and speak of a time she was courageous in her life. Then she went and laid the first brick (aka paper) down on our path to the temple. Next, we had our Tin Man come and share a time she showed love and she laid her brick down. Then, we had our Scarecrow come share what she is doing to develop wisdom and she laid her brick down. Next, we had our class president come up and they each read something about their class motto and they laid their bricks down on the path, building it closer to the temple. Then we had the girls come up and read about each one of the values, and a brick was laid for each of the values. Then, a row at a time we had our girls come up and each say something about the girls whose name was on their brick, then they went and added that name to the yellow brick road path. But the path was still not complete. Our amazing president then said something, well two things that were very thoughtful and kind about each of the Young Women leaders and our names were added to the path. Lastly, she spoke about how all of these things are great and can help us on our path, but sometimes things get difficult and we need to PRESS FORWARD with faith in Christ, through those challenges. We then showed the girls the 2016 Mutual Theme Video. We also showed the girls a video our president had put together with pictures from the past year to get them excited and it was set to the music of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". If I remember right I think we showed that right before we did the the New Beehive spotlights. Our Bishop closed the meeting with some amazing remarks and our path was finished. We closed with a prayer and then it was refreshments and mingle time. The refreshments were a hit, so yummy!! Here is the finished path... Click here for more Mutual Ideas!!

I look forward to hearing the themes for the upcoming year! It is interesting to see what our Church leaders see as important for the youth to focus on.

Since I've been called as the YW President in my ward (which by the way...was a total shocker to me...but that's another story for another time). I have felt a VERY STRONG need to get our YW working on their Personal Progress. I am bound and determined to have each of my YW get their Young Women Medallions. Sooo...here's how we are getting started on it... A PERSONAL PROGRESS PIE night. The girls HAD to have their PP books with them in order to get a peice of pie. Then with the help of my AMAZING 2nd councilor & Laurel class Presidency we came up with a Personal Progress folder that we had each of our YW put together that evening at mutual. We put EVERYTHING that we could think of that the YW would need to work on PP into this folder. It was a lot of work and took a lot of time searching for items online for the folder BUT all in all, it was TOTALLY worth it!! I am attaching a list of what we included in our PP folders for any of you who'd like to do the same for your YW. Feel free to use whatever you'd like from what we did to save yourself some time & energy.

Sarah and her friend Taylor were in charge of New Beginnings as one of their value projects. There was a quote from a different Dr. Seuss book for each value. There's my Rebecca talking about Divine Nature! I gotta say assemble-your-own-Schlopp is quite good! This was the introduction of the new girls table. There is a poem in the background written about them in Dr. Seuss style. That was my job. Taylor's mother supervised everything else. She says she got a lot of ideas online. I think she's glad this is over! Each girl got to take one of these home.

FREE 2017 YW Binder Cover with this years theme, complete with President, Counselor, and Secretary pages. A poster size YW Theme is also included!

Many months ago, (back when we were planning our "Daughter of a King" YWIE) my presidency and I stumbled upon these paintings/prints of women from the scriptures. The paintings are so beautiful that we wanted an evening that focused just on these women from the scriptures. ~PROGRAM~ "Women of Value:The Treasures Within" New Beginnings theme was born. We decided that we would write a program that focused on the 8 different YW values and then tell the story about each of these women. That was easier said than done. I started writing the program and a writer I am not!! So after only writing the story of Hannah for the value of FAITH (4 hours=4 paragraphs)...I gave up!! My second counselor, the LOVELY and WELL VERSED Jamie Peiper, volunteered to finish it for me. She did an AMAZING job writing a program. With the permission of Jamie, I've attached the program for anyone else who'd like to use these paintings for their New Beginnings or YWIE. Thought we'd try to save others some time. She did such a wonderful job on it, that it really should be used again. I began the program by talking about "earthly treasures" vs "spiritual treasures." When we gain a testimony of each value, we are literally laying up our treasures in heaven. We then had one YW read the story for each value. (so 8 YW participate) It was FAB-U-LOUS! CLICK HERE to download a copy of the program ~DECORATIONS~ We kept it simple...YES that's right...I did my best to keep it simple!! We really wanted to art to be the focus of the evening. So here is a look. We framed all the prints in large frames borrowed from our YW leaders. Then in a smaller black frame labeled each picture with the name of the value & the name of the women. We bought fresh flowers in each value color and put them in a vase next to the pictures. We gave these flowers to the 11 yr. old that will be advancing into YW this year when we recognized them. In the center of it all, we framed a beautiful picture of the temple. I found this site where you can download and print these photos of various temples. Thank you to Mindy Evans Photography for providing this phenomenal photos to all of us who are always online looking for them :) you know you can never have too many pics of the temple when you serve in YW. ~PROGRAMS~ ~DESSERT~ we served homemade cheesecake and had 8 different sauces for people to top the cheesecake with. One sauce in each value color, of course. Our toppings we used wereFaith: White ChocolateDivine Nature: Blueberry syrupIndividual Worth: Strawberry SyrupKnowledge: KiwiChoice & Accountability: PeachGood Works: PineappleIntegrity: Blackberries Virtue: Butterscotch ~HANDOUTS~ We made a small box for each YW to take home with her. We filled it with choc. treasures. 8 in each box. One wrapped in each of the value colors and labeled with the value sticker. So, so, so cute!! And CHEAP!! Less that $1 a girl. Plus, the girls always love it when the handout has something to do with food. Good Luck to all who haven't yet done their New Beginnings program. Hope this helps someone!!

Although the idea of "Girl on Fire" for a New Beginning theme isn't original I think the young women pulled it off brilliantly. One of our Laurels found the idea and did all the research for refreshment and decorating ideas. The rest of the work was delegated between the girls and leaders. I put the invitations together using the official movie poster fonts. The girls created fireball poofs to hang from the ceiling. And a welcome poster…. Our Beehive advisor created the dessert table and created labels for all the food using the font from the books. I was so excited to see she'd done that! Keeping with the color over black theme, each girl painted a value onto black poster board and explained how the value keeps her spiritual flame burning. We used all the appropriate labels for things such as: Values = Districts Girls Explaining the Values = Tributes One of our girls received her Young Woman in Excellence that night = Victor And the songs: The Spirit of God...like a fire is burning... and The Lord is My Light. Of course there were speakers, a skit, and some teaching involved so everyone got to do something. The skit was made up by the girls and was hilarious. The prompt was "Show us what Personal Progress is and how it works." So their skit included introducing PP to a classmate, carrying out a service project with her—raking leaves—and then going to a leader (played by a girl of course) to get it checked off in their books. We let the girls practice the skit a week beforehand—I'm glad because we got a lot of blank faces at first LOL. It was a great evening…the Stake YW Leaders were there and couldn't stop their praising. I LOVE that it was all headed up and started with one of the young women. I enjoy seeing what they want to do and the pleasure (and pride) on their faces when it all turns out. I'm sorry, I do not have a template of the invitation to share at this time. (I think I deleted it by accident ugh.) But here's a .png torch file. Click on it to open it full size, then right click to download it. Note, this is the official logo for the Young Women organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It has been modified to fit this theme.
