I give permission for my daughter to participate in the Nashua Stake Young Women Camp and authorize the adult leaders supervising this event to administer emergency treatment to the above named participant for any accident or illness and to act in my stead in approving necessary medical care. This authorization shall cover this event and travel to and from this event.

I grant the Nashua New Hampshire Stake the right and permission to use and publish images, photographs, video, and audio recordings made of me or my child at all stake youth activities, and I hereby release the stake, the activity coordinators, and all related parties from any and all liability from such use and publication. I further authorize the reproduction, exhibit, broadcast, electronic storage, Internet streaming, and/or distribution of such images, photographs, video, and audio recordings without limitation at the discretion of the stake.

As a youth participating in the 2023 Nashua Stake Young Women Camp, I am responsible for my own conduct and am aware of and agree to abide by Church standards, event safety rules, and instructions from Church and Camp leaders. My parents and I understand that participation in this activity is not a right but a privilege that can be revoked if I behave inappropriately or if I pose a risk to myself or others.

I will strive to follow the Savior Jesus Christ by treating others with love, respect, and kindness. My conduct and interactions will abide by Church standards and exemplify Christlike behavior. I will live by the principles in "For the Strength of Youth."

Outerwear and Safety Guidelines

"The Lord’s standard is for you to honor the sacredness of your body, even when that means being different from the world. Let this truth and the Spirit be your guide as you make decisions. . . . Be wise and faithful, and seek counsel from your parents and leaders." (FSOY, p. 27)

Youth and Adult campers should bring/wear:

• Closed-toe shoes (shoes must be worn throughout camp & to and from the beach)
• Swimsuits must cover the stomach, one and two-piece suits that maintain this standard are permitted.  Changing stations will be available at the beach.  If youth or leaders need to walk up to camp in their swimsuit, they should have a towel wrapped around them.

Our desire is that each youth who attends camp will feel their Savior’s love and increase their testimony of Him.  We want each young woman to leave camp knowing that she is a beloved daughter of Heavenly Parents and having confidence to ask for and receive revelation from her Heavenly Father.

For further guidance, please review the standards from the leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet.

With love and appreciation,

Nashua Stake YW Presidency
Nashua Stake Camp Directors
