Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. And it shall be, when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not, And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full; Then beware lest thou forget the Lord, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord our God hath commanded you? Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt; and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand: And the Lord shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes: And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers. And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.

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.
