June 18th - June 22nd

Becoming a Disciple of Jesus Christ

Overview

The Young Men will be staying at Standing Indian campground. It has flushing toilets and showers. The site is in the mountains so it will be cool during the evenings.

Some of the leaders will arrive a few days early to prepare. The YCLs will arrive a day early (Monday June 17th) and the remaining boys will arrive the next day (Tuesday June 18th).

The boys will get to do the white water rafting 2 times during the week. This will happen initially in a guided group and another without guides. We have partnered with WildWater to facilitate the rides to and from the camp and river, duckies (canoes), training, guides and support. Their website is HERE.

The whole week we will be having focused activities related to our camp theme: Becoming Disciples of Jesus Christ. We plan on having the boys track progress in their activities, rafting, firesides and interactions as they relate to the theme. We want the boys coming away from camp with stronger testimonies and knowledge in Him. 

 

What We Need From You
  1. Fill in the medical release and permission form below. This is required for anyone planning on attending, including parents.

  2. Click on the WildWater Form button below and fill it out. This is required for anyone planning on white water rafting. 

  3. If you are planning to attend at any point during the camp you are required to have passed the following training: Youth Protection Training Course Link.

  4. Each ward has been assigned a Ward Camp Director (WCD). Please reach out to your WCD and inform them of who plans on attending. They will be coordinating travel to and from the camp, assisting in activities at camp and assisting in general camp needs. 

  5. Review the list of EVENTS below and add them to your calendar. These events are meant to inform everyone of the camp plans and provide a way for all participants to ask questions. 

  6. On June 15th please assist your youth in packing. We have a packing list in a tab to the right. We would not want a youth to come to camp unprepared and you are their best chance at not forgetting anything. 

  7. Costs for the trip are Youth: $225 Adult: $175. Money should not be the reason your son cannot go. Please talk with your bishops if money is a concern. Also, please discuss how your ward will raise the funds for camp with your ward leadership. This will reduce the amount needed by each participant.

  8. The Ward Camp Directors from each ward should be coordinating transportation to and from camp for all non-YCL youth. All wards will meet at the York building for taking youth to camp as well as returning home. Location link here.
