Girls Camp Kit Preview & Survey


It’s only March, but it’s already time to start thinking about Girls Camp! Last year I got to be really involved in the planning of camp with the other YCLs, and it was a neat experience. It was my final year at camp (though I may be coming back as a cook this year!) and now that I’m a “grown-up” I find myself in a new situation of observing how things are being executed without being directly involved.

I’ve had quite a few people contact me about creating Girls Camp files, and I’ve released a couple T-Shirt designs on Etsy in the past few weeks. The culmination of all of this is that I’ll be releasing Girls Camp “Kits” right around General Conference time. My goal is to have them all out before the Women’s session and Easter, but life has a way of getting in the way sometimes, so I won’t issue ultimatums just yet.

Before I release anything, I also want to get input from those who will be in the trenches–the leaders. I really dislike kits that include a billion things, when none of them ultimately are useful. My goal is to pack these kits full of tools that will actually be useful.

And so I’ve created a survey. It should only take a couple minutes to fill out, and the information will be invaluable to me in deciding what to include in the kits. I will also be putting up a number of free downloads (probably in mid/late April), so don’t fret if you aren’t interested in purchasing a kit. No matter your interest level, I would hugely appreciate any feedback you can offer!

Create your own user feedback survey

In the meantime, and to give you a better idea, here are a few of the themes for the kits. I have a couple more in the works, but I figured it would be wise to whet your appetites with these. The kits will likely include the majority of what is mentioned in the survey, which is why your feedback is so vital–to weed out the unhelpful tools and to see if there are any additional resources that would be wise to include.

Elisha Multiplies the Widow’s Oil

2 Kings 4
Elisha multiplies the widow’s oil.

“When you do your part, the Lord adds His power to your efforts”
-President Henry B Eyring-

These bottles of water provided an effective visual for this lesson.
The small bottle represents the  amount of oil the widow had when she met Elisha.
She was almost out of oil with no hope of having more.
She was in great debt and it appeared the only solution to pay her debts was to have her sons become enslaved to her creditors to work off the debt.
Elisha told her to borrow many vessels from her neighbors and bring them to her house.
She obeyed the Prophet Elisha, even though it did not seem to be a solution to her great debt.
I had multiple cups/vessels on the table and tried to fill them using the small water bottle.
Only 2 were filled. Then I brought out the large water bottle and every vessel was filled.

 Elisha performed a miracle and multiplied the widow’s oil so every vessel could be filled and her sons could go sell the oil. They made enough money to pay the debts and be able to live comfortably without having to leave their mother.

We are all this widow, in need of the Lord’s blessings and miracles in our lives. He is ready to pour down blessings and bring miracles to our lives as we exercise faith and obedience.

Families are Forever, simple

This simple graphic based on the 2014 Primary Theme, Families are Forever, would look great on tshirts, sacrament meeting programs, binder covers, invitations to stake leadership meetings, and many other Primary handouts. You can use this image on items you will not sell for profit, including t-shirts, crafts, and programs, but please leave the MormonShare.com logo intact. Below you’ll find this image in a variety of colors.  The “black” version…

Families are Forever with Temple

I created this logo for use with the 2014 Primary Theme, Families are Forever.   This logo uses a temple for the ‘l’ in families to show that Families can be Forever when sealed in the temple.  You can use this image on items you will not sell for profit, including t-shirts, crafts, and programs, but please leave the MormonShare.com logo intact. UPDATE – I decided the other image looked…

This website just got awesomer

Okay.  That’s a terrible title.  But the site did get awesomer yesterday! For years I’ve been collecting and aggregating feeds of several blogs out there trying to send traffic to them.  Smaller websites have fantastic ideas, but often they don’t get enough traffic to let them know their posts are worthwhile and appreciated.  They sometimes lack the time or expertise to get viewers to come to their sites to see…

“Purse”-onal Progress Invitation / Purse Card

This card is for use with the “P” parties or “Purse”onal progress party ideas, but you could use the pattern for wedding showers, Enrichment, and other types of girls-only events. I especially like the purse-weighing ice breaker gam e (Place a scale in the middle of the room then weigh each person’s purse.) or purse treasure hunt (Have everyone put their purses on their laps. Yell out an item and…
