Values and Colors

              One of the main purposes of our camp is to help all those who come draw closer to our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ. As one drives into the camp, they are greeted by a row of banners each a different color.  A  very striking entrance.  But, do these banners have meaning?  Is there a reason each banner is a different color; white, blue, green, red, orange, purple, yellow, and gold?

 

                The colors stand for the “Young Women’s Values”.  Each value is represented by a different color:  Faith-white;  Divine Nature-Blue; Individual Worth-red; Knowledge-green; Choice and Accountability-orange; Good Works-yellow; Integrity-purple; and Virtue-gold.

                These colors are carried out in all their activities.  The different young women’s groups often wear t-shirts  showing these colors and showing their camp theme.  For the youth in the church a theme was chosen for the year.  It is “Stand Ye In Holy Places and Be Not Moved”.  This theme was carried out in all their camp activities.

 

                Often as  the girls walked to the lake, their reflection would be in the lake, showing these wonderful value colors.

 

 At the Lake one of  the focal points was a large planter filled with flowers and surrounded by flags displaying the special colors.  If we can touch even a few young women’s hearts while they are here, our purpose has indeed been met.
