When we minister, we serve and teach others. Through ministering, all leaders have the opportunity at camp to strengthen relationships with and develop trust with each other. Ministering requires love, sincere friendship, and a desire to strengthen others. As a leader, you can be an example of ministering as you lift others, build confidence through words and actions, choose to be patient, act as a peacemaker, avoid complaining, share testimony, and reach out to include all.

As a youth camp leader (YCL), you have an even greater opportunity to minister to the youth women at camp because you are more closely involved in their experiences. As a youth camp leader, you can minister to the young women at camp in the following ways:

• Pray for each young woman by name before camp and each day during camp. Make sure each young woman is included and feels loved.
• Perform simple acts of kindness and service.
• Strengthen each young woman's faith in and testimony of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
• Receive, recognize and rely on the promptings of the Holy Ghost.
• Develop friendships and have fun.

We need you, YCLs!
