2 Nephi 31:20 - "Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men.

WHY DO WE HAVE YOUNG WOMEN'S CAMP?
"Statistics have shown that one of the most powerful places for girls to strengthen their testimonies is at camp...please make sure every girl has the chance to go to camp and there
strengthen her testimony."
Sister Susan W. Tanner, YW General President, 2004
Camp is essential to the Young Women program. Camp is significant in strengthening young women's testimonies and is an experience to build upon all year. Camp is challenging,
but it is worth it!
We are planning a fabulous camp and hope that all Young Women will come with a great attitude, ready to make new friends, strengthen their testimonies, and have a blast! We feel honored to serve these young women and look forward to another wonderful week at YW Camp!
WHAT ARE THE YOUNG WOMEN CAMP GOALS?
The goals of the YW camping program are to help the Young Women:
Draw closer to Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ
Feel the influence of the Spirit
Serve Others
Build friendships and unity
Appreciate and feel reverence for Nature
Become more self-reliant
Develop leadership skills
Enjoy camping and have fun!
WHAT IS THE FARGO ND STAKE YOUNG WOMEN CAMP MISSION STATEMENT?
Our goal for Young Women's Camp is to provide a natural and spiritual setting for the precious daughters of God of the Fargo Stake. We want them to experience and appreciate the joy and beauty of God's creation in all its grandeur, gain a personal testimony of His plan for them, learn to forgive and be forgiven, learn to lead, learn to serve, learn to give comfort, and above all, to learn to love.
YW 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 will help these young women confirm their identity as daughters of God, recognize and cultivate the Spirit, keep baptismal covenants, and prepare for their future.
