About Camp

Camp is held at beautiful Vista Camps in the Hill Country of South Texas.   All young women and adult leaders will sleep in cabins at the camp.  All events are facilitated by certified and trained staff at Vista Camps.

     Each day begins with a flag ceremony.  Day time activities will include:  canoeing, high ropes course events, swimming, and other activities.  Evening programs are usually more spiritual in nature and include workshops, speakers and inspiring devotionals.  Of course camp songs, skits, and crafts are included all throughout camp as well.

     Food is provided by the camp. Please contact us as soon as possible of any medically documented food allergies.  No young men will be present at the camp.  Church standard attire is required at all times.  Please leave all electronics at home.

     About 100 young women will be in attendance plus many adult leaders. The first four levels (divided by age) will do activities and certification in outdoor skills. The two older levels (16-18) will have training in leadership and then apply their new skills as youth camp leaders.

In the article “Celebrating 100 Years of Young Women Camp,” Sister Elaine S Dalton states: “Since 1912, many Young Women camps have been established and dedicated all around the world. A camp with the most basic and simple accommodations can become a sacred place where the Spirit of the Lord is present, where daughters of God put the principles of the gospel into practice, and where the glorious blessings of nature are appreciated in happy ways.”

            Our goal is that each young woman can be strengthened spiritually and nourish her testimony through the experiences she has at camp. Sister Dalton further stated, “Wherever camp is held, one thing is sure: young women love to go to camp! When asked about the favorite part of the Young Women experience in general, the majority of young women I have visited with say, “Camp!” YW’s camp can play a significant role in shaping our young women in the gospel."
