And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him. And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me. And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.
Genesis 18:9-14; 21:1-7

God's Royal Army

"Be strong and of a good courage...for the Lord thy God is with thee."
Joshua 1:9

We invite our Valiant 7-10 children to rally the troops as we march forth strong and of a good courage as we learn who we truly are and who be belong to!

Through immersive activities at our destination day camp - including games, crafts, lunch, music, and themed stations - children will learn how they can:

Walk Tall,
Go Forth With Faith,
Lead Out,
Choose the Right,
and Glow With Gospel Light

Each 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 PM

We 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.
