5th Year Tent Assignments and Instruction

Click on the following page to enlarge the copy to see 5th year tent assignments, which were coordinated by the stake.


Please also note the following schedule:

* You will be transported to/from girls camp with the Town Center Ward
* Tuesday, June 8 at 11:30 a.m. - Harness/zipline training
* Thursday, June 10 at 11:45 a.m. - Leadership luncheon at the stake pavilion
* Daily at 9:30 p.m. - 5th years return to stake campsite to sleep

Since you'll be spending most of your time serving as leaders at the Town Center Ward campsite, we'll have a small tent onsite for your belongings.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Rainboots

There is still snow at Camp Stimpson so it will likely be wet and muddy this year at camp. I recommend bringing a pair of rainboots to keep your feet warm and dry.


I just purchased the rainboots photographed above for only $20 at Target, plus rainboot fleece liners for $10. They have dozens of options to choose from.

If you're feeling fancy, Nordstrom, Macy's and most other major departments stores have rainboots as well.

In my opinion, warm and dry feet are well worth $30.

Happy shopping!

Don't Forget: Our Pre-camp Meeting

All campers and thier parents are encouraged to attend.

We hope to see you there.

Camp Logos: Cast Your Vote

Town Center Ward campers – pick your logo! Each girl attending Girls Camp will be given one vote. Anonymous posts are permitted on this blog, but will not be counted unless your first name is included in the post to validate your vote. The logo with the highest number of votes on Wednesday, April 28 will be our camp logo.

Both logo options feature the stake theme for camp this year: Camp Courage, Strength in Numbers; as well as our ward superhero trait: Discerning Divas. The winning logo will appear on our camp banner, t-shirts, etc.

Happy voting!
