Where, When, and Why Do We Have Camp?

Where is Camp?

Camp should be:

  • A safe place set apart from the world —in nature, if possible. This may or may not be Church-owned property.
  • A place where young women can feel the Spirit. (See Moses 1:1–25)

If having camp in an outdoor setting is not possible, camp may be held in another setting where young women may enjoy learning and be safe. (See "Young Women," section 4 of the Church Handbook of Instructions, Book 2: Priesthood and Auxiliary Leaders [1998], 225.)


When is Camp?

Camp may be held any time of year depending on:

  • The area.
  • The climate.
  • The type of camping desired.


Why do we have Camp?

Camp is an opportunity for young women to practice patterns of gospel living away from worldly influences and the challenges they may face in their daily lives.

Everything we do at camp should help young women come unto Christ by:

  • Confirming their identity as daughters of God.
  • Recognizing and cultivating the Spirit.
  • Keeping baptismal covenants.
  • Preparing for their future roles.
