Pre-Camp Fireside:          Sunday, July 21, 2013 at Petaluma Building 7:00pm
                             This is for ALL YW going to camp and Staff.   Please wear a White T-Shirt for the Value Faith.

Miscellaneous:        All YW will be under the Pledge of Conduct Discipline Policy, which will be enforced.  If for any reason a YW is sent home, you as her parents will be asked to come and pick her up at camp.  No alcohol, drugs or other Word of Wisdom problems allowed.  Each YW needs to have a current Medical form on file and her parents will be responsible for any charges related to emergency treatment if necessary.

NO VISITORS allowed at camp!

NO FOOD ALLOWED IN THE CABINS!  All food brought up to camp will have to be stored in containers in the Camp Directors office by ward.  The YW are fed very well so it isn’t necessary to send your daughter to camp with snacks or treats. Just a lunch for the first day.
Animals eat through personal items very quickly.
Don’t bring any money.  The Canteen will be service based currency this year.


We are so excited for another year of camp with your daughter(s).  We hope your daughter(s)
will come to camp with a great attitude and learn to develop a loving relationship with her
Ward family, other Young Women and a special relationship with her Savior through the
activities and programs.  A lot of prayers have been offered in her behalf as we have begun
preparations for Camp.  We know that this is truly an inspired program for our Young Women
through our Heavenly Father.  They will also make new friends and learn new survival skills.

We are so excited for Camp 2013!

The Young Women Camp Presidency,
Sisters Amy Smith, Caryn Johnson, and Vivie Amador
