Are we allowed to have sleepovers for Young Women?

One thing worth noting, I suppose, is that a “sufficient” number of priesthood must be present. No specific number is stated. At least two adult leaders must be present, however.

It’s not stated, but I’m certain the two adult leaders must either be of the same gender or married. The *absolute* minimum, therefore, would be a married couple hosting a yw sleepover, or two women leaders with a “sufficient” number of priesthood present and sleeping elsewhere.

We have a YW sleep over every year. It is one of the things that the girls look forward to most! It turns out slightly different, depending on the corcumstances, but we stay at the YW President’s house. She has a pool and a hot tub, so they LOVE that… we make personal pizzas for dinner… the girls who want to stay up all night sleep in the basement, and the girls that want to sleep have a room on the main floor. Everyone brings sleeping bags, etc. The first year we had a big breakfast, but found that they really don’t eat much….. so this year we just had bagels, and muffins, etc. Good luck and have fun!

We’ve been hearing more and more discouraging sleep-overs in our area. We just decided to have a blanket no church sleep-over policy. Since we can’t pick and choose whose houses are approved and not. I think it’s a big bummer since the girls have so much fun, but I can see the concerns, so that is why I ultimately helped make the decision.
