LDS Girls Camp Ideas



Here are a few Ideas for Girls Camp.


This is a mural an amazing artist in our ward airbrush painted.  He painted on a white sheet.  We then hung the mural between two trees.  This was such a great addition to our camp.


This picture represents two ideas.  One is that we covered the tables with white butcher paper and then the girls wrote what they were grateful for during the week.  We would change the paper each day.  This was a great way to have the girls focus on the positive aspects of camp.  

The second idea is the photos of the girls.  I took a picture of each girl before camp.  On the picture it says "Let His light shine through you."  I printed the photos on vellum paper and attached them to pieces of glass (from Ikea) with spray glue.  I then used a white masking tape to tape the four corners of the glass together to make a box.  Then I placed a battery operated tea light in each box.  They looked amazing and the girls loved them...for about 5 minutes.  Unfortunately this story has a very sad ending. Right after we placed them all out on the tables a huge rain storm came up and they were all destroyed by the water.  So if it looks like it might rain, get the decorations under cover!

Two years ago Our theme was We seek after these things.  This is the logo I came up with.  All week the girls were seeking.  There were tons of treasure hunts.  The logo itself had clues.  The crown represents that she is a daughter of God.  The earing is a "C" and represents Christ.  The necklace is actually a glyph from the original gold plates.  I found them here.  (Scroll over until you see the correct document.)  And finally (this is a bit of a stretch) the pony tail makes an "F" representing faith.  Each day we focused on Each of these topics, Daughters of God, coming closer to Christ, and The Book of Mormon and Faith.

Home Organization Ideas

Image
Well it's been a while since I've been on and since then I've received a new calling.  I'm 2nd counselor in the Relief Society.  I am over the activities and last night we had an activity about home organization.  I love what Marie Ricks has to say about organization, so I based my lesson from her book Project organization.  The following is a Prezi Presentation I put together to help illustrate the concepts I was trying to teach.  If you read the first few chapters of Marie's book it will make more sense, but there are some good ideas without the book. Click this Link  for the Prezi. If you don't want to go through the presentation here are some photos to give you some ideas. This is my baking center. Measuring tools are in this cupboard. Spices are in the corner cupboard on turn tables. Most used on the bottom (I'm rather small in stature) and the less used ones in the middle.  Top are bulk spices I use to refill my containers.

Ward, Neighborhood Progressive Dinner Activity

Image
When we first moved into our neighborhood, I wanted to get to know my neighbors quickly and on a more personal level.  My grandma had a great idea.  She suggested I host a progressive dinner.  I was thrilled with how well it turned out.  I ended up hosting a few myself and then my ward (a local LDS congregation) took it over as a ward activity. Here's how it works. First you send out invitations to everyone in the neighborhood.  The great thing about this activity is it is just a way to get to know everyone, it's not churchy, so invite everyone. This is the invite we used this time. Then you get all the RSVP's back.  Because everyone is so good at RSVPing, we called people, texted people and sent a signup in church to see who was going to be able to make it.  We also asked for people who would be willing to Host the dinner at their home. Then the fun begins.  We printed up everyone's last names on a sheet of paper along with the words Salad, Dinner and De

LDS Girls Camp Idea, 12 Virgins and oil.

Image
Here's another idea we did at girls camp.  I wanted to teach the girls the concept that little things can make a big difference in your lives.  We decided to teach them about the 10 virgins and how they can be prepared in their own lives as they "collect their oil" and prepare for the bridegroom.  At the beginning of the week we gave each girl a necklace. With this label on it. Just the label We had some droppers filled with "oil"  really colored water and each time they did something to strengthen their spirit they put a drop in.  (Acts of service, prayers, scripture reading, participation in an activity etc.) The girls loved this and they were able to take the necklace home to have a reminder of their oil. Before camp the girls made terra-cotta lamps like the ones they had in Christ's day.  I just got a bag of clay from a pottery supply shop and a local school agreed to fire them for us.  (Make sure you get the proper
