Outerwear and Safety Guidelines
"The Lord’s standard is for you to honor the sacredness of your body, even when this means being different from other people. Let this truth and the Spirit be your guide as you make decisions—especially decisions that have lasting effects on your body. Be wise and faithful, and seek counsel from your family and leaders." (For the Strength of Youth)
Youth and Adult campers should bring/wear:
- Closed-toe shoes (shoes must be worn throughout camp & to and from the beach)
- Swimsuits and all other clothing must cover the stomach. One and two-piece swimsuits that maintain this standard are permitted. 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 Guide.
With love and appreciation,
