The Theme

Our ward girls camp theme this year 2015 is, "Let God be your lighthouse." God is our lighthouse, Jesus Christ is the light, and we are the ships on the sea. The theme was crafted and chosen by the girls and they seem enthusiastic about it.

The Mutual theme for the youth in The Church of Jesus Christ this year is taken from Doctrine and Covenants, Section 4:2, "Oh 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." Many girls camps in the church are using this as their camp theme as well, but the Youth Camp Leaders (YCLs) in our ward wanted to do something different, yet corollary, and still follow along with the nautical theme that a lot of wards and stakes are using. Our girls chose D&C 88:50, "Then shall ye know that ye have seen me, that I am, and that I am the true light that is in you, and that you are in me; otherwise ye could not abound." They are choosing a lighthouse as the camp symbol and designing some of the activities around that. It should be fun to see where they go with all of this. I know I'm sure learning a lot over the course of the planning.
