And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat the Lord that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord. And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the Lord. And the Lord did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one. And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.

Joshua 1:9
Go Forth With Faith,

Choose the Right,
and Glow With Gospel LightEach station invites children to feel empowered that they are of Royal birth and part of God's army sent to Earth at this time for a special purpose.Because the children will be moving from station to station, we ask that each child bring a 5-gallon bucket with a handle and lid to use as a stool (talk to your primary president if this is a hardship in any way). The children can also use their bucket to carry their water bottle and handouts/crafts from each station. Primary presidencies will also help coordinate carpools for each ward. Because we are at a beautiful destination and enjoying nature, please put sunscreen on your child before sending to camp. Time: Arrival: 8:45AM | Event Time: 9 AM - 2 PMWe have created a FAQ's document which will be frequently updated, including the menu for lunch, so check it often, and don't hesitate to contact a member of the stake primary presidency with any questions you may have.To participate, please fill out one form per child using this LINK. Registration closes on May 15th.
