Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Joshua 1:2-9

Joshua 1:9
Go Forth With Faith,
Lead Out,
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.
