Q & A #3

Q: Do the wards need to supply their own firewood?

A: No, we are very grateful to the priesthood brothers who have volunteered to go up on the Saturday prior to camp and cut from the area around Mia Shalom for our whole stakes firewood needs.



Q: When is the stake camp kick-off fireside?

A: The fireside is scheduled for Wednesday, June 21st at 7:00pm. There will be a short path of righteousness program for 6th years and their parents following the fireside. Put the date on the calendar and we will be sending more information, as well as invites to the wards.

Lifeguards Needed

The members of the Stake camp committee who are in charge of overseeing the waterfront and fitness activities are looking for certified lifeguards to be present at the lake activities. Shalom asks that we provide our own lifeguards and requires two to be on site at all times we are using the lake. We'd like to first offer this experience to the young women in the stake who are certified and will already be going to camp. Could you please ask your ward young women if there are any who would be willing to serve in this way while at camp? If you could then get us the names/emails of these girls we will contact them about this fun opportunity. Thank you!

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.

YCL RETREAT - Mark your calendars!

May 2, 2015 10:00 - 4:00

12 Weeks to go...

I don't want to alarm anyone but we are on a 12 week countdown to YW camp at Heber Valley. :) We are working hard on our preparations, as I know you are also. I want to take just a moment to update you and clarify information I have had questions about. I appreciate all your questions and am happy to address any concerns. *The boats will be delivered to you the Sunday following spring break, April 12th. They are ready if you are interested in receiving them earlier. They are painted and half assembled, the masts are not connected to the boats. This will make decorating and transporting much easier. The boats are intended to be a blank canvas for the YW to visually display how they feel about the daily themes. They will need names, such as S.S. Embark (the stake boat). Create and enjoy, I am so excited to see all the different finished products. We will gather them close to camp and transport them for you, unless you would prefer otherwise. *Challenge course, waterfront and art classes (a project so beautifully created and directed by our YW stake president, Diane Mangum) are scheduled and reserved by the stake. We have times assigned to us on Wednesday afternoon, Thursday morning and Thursday afternoon. We, the stake camp committee, will assign you ward times during these time blocks. The remaining time in-between your ward assignments will be ward time. We will have these assignments to you by mid April. Assignments made by the stake also include: cleaning duties, hosting stake leaders and HVC missionaries for meals; and YCL duties. *Flag ceremony will take place morning and evening each day. The stake will make assignments to the YCL's to run the flag ceremonies (along with 2nd years doing the actual flag ceremony). Also by late April we will pass on the assignments to you, so that you can help YCL's prepare as needed. You will need to prepare 4 ward cheers, one per day. *Information we need from you. -What leader from your ward will be riding the bus? -Do you have any changes to the roster turned in of those attending camp? Any changes in shirt sizes? You will need to have your ward check-in and check-out form completed and turned in by the camp kick-off. -What leader will be attending the challenge course training and assigned to attend all of our stake challenge course times? *All 6th years have been asked to participate in the Path of Righteousness program. If you have any questions please contact Amy Openshaw. *Please don't forget to contact Meg Peterson with your song choice for Shining Trees. Also please let Meg know if you have any YW in your ward that would like to participate in a special musical number at flag. *The 4th years will be leaving on their overnighter approx. 3-4:00pm on Tuesday afternoon. They will be welcomed back with fan fair during our opening flag Wednesday morning. *All YCL's will be on the food committee. Each YCL will receive 2 food assignments. Each lunch will have three assignment groups: food preparation; hostess and serving; and clean-up. We appreciate your help in encouraging and supporting them as they fulfill their leadership assignments. *YCL retreat is on Saturday, May 2nd, from 10:00am - 4:00pm. We have a wonderful horse riding activity, along with projects we need to complete for camp. Mary Latu is our YCL stake camp committee director, she will be in contact with you regarding a RSVP for the retreat. Thank you for all that you do! I couldn't be more excited about camp! We have some wonderful speakers, activities and plans for camp this year. It is going to be a wonderful event. Please contact me or Cheri Wallace if you have any questions. Lots of love, Mary Rencher Stake camp director

Camp Schedule PDF
Camp Schedule.docx
Camp Schedule.doc

Ward Roster with T-Shirt and Sweatshirt Sizes:  Due April 26th. You may either fill out the roster by hand or electronically--it's a form-fillable pdf.

Search and Rescue Theme Summary: This is a resource with scriptures and talks describing each daily theme.

Treasure the Word Invitation: (see invitation below--we will provide the cards)

D&C 84:88 is one of President Monson’s favorite scriptures because it brings him comfort in times of need. Because he knows it so well, he shares it often which helps all of us remember and feel the rescuing power of the Savior’s grace.I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand
and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts,
and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.

Before camp, choose and memorize a verse of scripture (or part of a verse) that is meaningful to you. Then, just like President Monson, the words you have treasured and memorized by heart, will come to back to you when you need them.

You will have an opportunity to share your scripture during your ward time at camp. Stake leaders will ask you to share your scripture when they come visit your camp for breakfast and dinner. (Any feedback on this--please let us know.)

Camp Music Instructions:  Camp song, hymns, Shining Trees. One important thing we did not talk about this morning was the camp songbooks. Each ward should have their own songbooks. Please let us know if you need to order more. We will provide a master page with the words to the songs we are singing this year so you can make copies for your songbooks.

Camp Information for Leaders:  Important things to know.

YW Camp Tips (updated):  Tips from experienced camp directors and ward presidents.

Certification Summary:  An overview of certification requirements.

Mia Shalom Policies and Guidelines: Each ward leader is responsible to know the Shalom Guidelines.

Ward Leaders Roster:  You may want to contact the ward you are paired with to plan waterfront games.
