Stake Young Men’s Camp
Hello Young Men, Parents of Young Men!
You may have heard about our plans for a Stake Young Men’s Camp this summer from July 21-24 (Wednesday – Saturday). We are very excited to have this outing together. We will continue to follow carefully the guidance provided regarding COVID-19 and the precautions necessary. As things are currently, with progression toward being able to do things together more, we are in process of planning this camp opportunity where Ensign Ranch (Far West Campground) will serve as our base camp and activities will be held in the general area to include possible ideas such as cycling, fishing, boating, hiking, etc. We will have many opportunities for building relationships between young men and leaders and in building faith and testimony together.
In order to help us in the planning for this event, we ask that each Young Man complete the survey that is linked here within the next few days (please prior to Tuesday, April 27):
We have some wonderful young men that have been helping with the planning that might have reached out to you already for some of these questions, but we decided it would be easiest with this survey to gather the needed info (thank you to Kress Franzen for building it). The young men that have currently been joining us in the planning efforts include Tyson Bolles, Cole Raban, Camden Franzen, Conner Bowler and Max Welch.
Please let me or any one of the young men listed above, or member of your Bishopric know of any additional questions you have.
Thanks very much!
