YW Camp

This Sunday is our Camp Kick Off! I'm so excited to be officially presenting both our stake and ward themes to the girls. I think it's going to be a fun night! The YCLS have been hard at work creating a skit for the night and working on all of their various parts. Our stake theme is Be BRAVE, it's a jungle out there! Each ward selected an animal to represent themselves. We are the Giraffes. I loved the way this stake designed their Yellow and Grey Brave sign. (Found Here)

It's been fun to come up with all kinds of ways of including this theme into our presentation. For our Camp Kick Off Night the YCLS have decided to go a little tribal :). Here are some images I found online for inspiration.

The YCLS skit is mainly to entertain the girls, get them excited about camp, and motivate any 1st time girls who are nervous about coming or girls who have had a bad experience as to why they should be looking forward to this year's camp. After all its going to be the best year ever!

Each of the YCLS will take turns presenting their skit, our themes, leading the music, etc. We will have on display some of the crafts we will be making this year at camp, Secret Sister Surveys, Permission slips, a packing list, and a few munchies.  I think its going to be a great night! I plan on using the S'more cupcakes (click here for recipe), something to drink, and maybe some dipped fruit.

Our Ward theme to go along with It's a Jungle Out There is Girl on Fire. We had lots of fun creating the invites for camp kick off. Here's a picture. It's basically an arrow with some tags stating the themes for camp and the date and time for camp kick off.

For the arrow invite how to click here!

I also created a Secret Sister Survey which is basically just a questionnaire each girl can fill out that night. That way when we exchange names the girls will be armed with a little extra information while trying to decide what they want to do for their secret sister.

Wish me luck!

I LOVE The Stake!

I can't wait for camp, Only 5 more days! The first day up we are bringing a lunch. I wanted something that was just a little cuter than a brown paper bag. I thought these were simple and fun. I just used regular brown paper sacks and printed the hooray on them on my home printer.

Aren't these girls AMAZING!

 

 

Secret Sister Gift Ideas
This year was kind of a fun year for the girls. It was just a ward camp, so super low key and nice. It was a short camp, so Madelaine only had to come up with a few Secret Sister gifts. We used her sister's personal questionnaire to come up with the ideas.
