Q&A #2

Q:  How many priesthood leaders do we need to assign from our ward?

A: You do not need to assign any priesthood leaders from your ward. The stake high council is aware of the priesthood leadership needs at camp. They will assign and provide priesthood leadership at camp, at the 4th year overnight hike and the main gate Mia Shalom assignment.


Q:  What do we need to bring for the Mia Shalom service project?

A:  We have not yet heard if we will be planting or watering trees. I am suggesting that every ward plan for both.  To plan appropriately I asked for the wards to provide a shovel for every three girls in their ward (labeled), and an empty milk jug per girl (they have water there). The jugs will stay at Shalom as a donation for camps coming in the later months. If you do not have a milk jug per YW, do not worry it will work out just fine to share also. They said there is an assembly line way they water. I would recommend each girl bring a pair of work gloves also, especially if we end up planting. 

We are so grateful to Stately Type for their awesome T-shirt designs. And the winner, voted in by the YCLs is the orange/blue FLAME!

YW Camp Committee and Directors Meeting

Wednesday, May 3rd 

8:00pm

High Council Room, Stake Center

For: Stake Camp Committee Members 

and Ward Camp Directors

Purpose: Update on camp planning and Q&A

Please contact maryhewlettrencher@gmail.com with any questions.

Not frequently, but asked questions...

What are the facilities in the wilderness area of Mia Shalom like?
*There are 20 cabins, that fit 20 YW/leaders each (that means generally 2 cabins per ward)
*7 water hydrants to share between the cabins
*1 bathroom with 10 toilets
*most cabins have a fire ring, some share. each ward will have their own.

How many leaders should attend from each ward?
*this varies based on availability of leaders and number of YW, there is not an exact ratio. we had anywhere between 7 - 13 leaders per ward in 2015.

Will we have ward time during the water/confidence course?
*yes, but if you would like to participate in volleyball, waterfront, confidence course and GPS activities there will not be a lot of extra time. we are still working on the best possible schedule and will let you know as soon as possible.

I'd love to help answer any questions. Please email or text and I'll answer them in the next post of FAQ.

Roster and Permission Slips DUE April 15th

What is needed... 

-Name of each girl attending (place an asterisk by those currently unsure)
 As much as possible at this point it would also be nice to know if they are staying
 for the entire event or will be coming and going. How many will be riding the bus?
-Camp level
-T-shirt size (the t-shirts will be slightly fitted)
-Any food allergies
-Any special medical or physical accommodations required
-Medications being taken or medication allergies (don't stress about this if you don't know right now. I can get that information with the permission forms)

-Name of each leader attending
-T-shirt size

We will need to know which leaders will be attending which events (1 per event for each ward) and which will be riding the bus with your girls (again, 1 per ward). 

We will also need a more detailed schedule for those girls that will coming and going during the week.  And, of course, permission forms. You will need the LDS church permission form for the YW and an adult permission form for all leaders attending.
