by: Swflsants@aol.com (4/21/02) Our Stake theme this year is "United We Stand In Holy
Places", The camp theme from that is "Camp Liberty". There is a beautiful
song called "Lady Liberty", that our assistant camp director picked up when she
went to New York. The scripture for camp is 2 Nephi 2:26-29, "...we are free to
choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all...","...my
daughters, you should look to the Mediator, and hearken unto his words, and choose eternal
life..."
Something's that came to mind with this scripture is how Christ is the first one to
have fought for our liberty. Also how Moroni made a Title of Liberty, etc.
When we saw the YW Broadcast on Saturday, the YW torch that Sister Naudauld had is exactly
what we are looking for. We will be talking about the Statue of Liberty and how we are
Lady Liberty's, holding our torches high, a light to all the nations, a safe harbor for
all to come, etc.

Our theme is "United We Stand". We have
been given no guidance as to what to do about a ward theme. I am meeting with girls for
the first time next week and would like to take some ideas to them. HELP!
Also, does anyone have any suggestions for a quick bonding moment game to do after opening
exercises to get them in the mood to talk about camp? I have a feeling it is still going
to be snowing here, so I don't want to do a cooking exercise outside (already did that
this year!)
One suggestion I had for a compass activity: set up a compass course inside the church
building as a scavenger hunt. Leave the ingredients for some cooking activity or treat and
you can't make it until they find their way around the compass course.

This isn't really a bonding activity, and it
definitely shows my age. There is a song where the chorus goes:
United we stand
Divided we fall
And if our backs should ever be against the wall,
We'll be together,
together, you and I.
And since I can't recall the rest of the lyrics, that means I am really old and brain
cells are dying.

The song is "United We Stand" by the
Brotherhood of Man. It starts out "There's no where in the world that I would rather
be than with you, my love"
Our camp theme is also United We Stand. We are thinking about modifying the lyrics
so that the song could be the theme of our YL's. As for a bonding activity, how about
making a fake campfire (out of paper) to put on the wall, sit on the floor and sing camp
songs? For refreshments have fake smores.

I just attended a regional youth conference in
Richland WA where the theme was United We Stand. The opening address was given by a
firefighter from a local department who worked at ground zero. He talked and let the kids
ask questions and then closed with a very touching video done to music of 9-11. I know
that there are firefighters, etc. all over the US who helped. You might suggest this to
stake leaders. Maybe other places have a similar
presentation. It was unforgettable.
