​

All Young Women and Adult Leadership attending camp are expected to observe all standards set forth in the For Strength of Youth pamphlet - especially those outlined below.

 

Love God, Love Your Neighbor

“All people are your brothers and sisters—including, of course, people who are different from you or disagree with you.”

 

“Show love for God by keeping His commandments”

 

“Treat everyone as a child of God.”

 

“Reach out to those who feel lonely, isolated, or helpless.” 

 

“Make sure your language reflects love of God and others—whether you’re communicating in person or virtually. Say things that uplift—nothing that might be divisive, hurtful, or offensive, even as a joke. Your words can be powerful. Let them be powerful for good.”

 

Your Body Is Sacred

“Treat your body—and others’ bodies—with respect.” 

 

“Heavenly Father wants us to see each other for who we really are: not just physical bodies but His beloved children with a divine destiny. Avoid styles that emphasize or draw inappropriate attention to your physical body instead of who you are as a child of God with an eternal future.” 

 

“Do things that will strengthen your body—nothing that will hurt or damage it.”
