"Back to Our Future" Song -- To the tune of "My Favorite Things"

Faith, Divine Nature, The Worth of a Soul,
Knowledge and choice, being accountable--
Good Works, Integrity, these are our guides,
When we have values the Spirit resides.

Girls Camp at (Camp name here), and water, and friends.
Lashing and singing, the fun never ends.
Making our meals over fires built by hand,
This is the time when we can make a stand!

**CHORUS
When temptation comes my way,
All I have to do--
Is simply remember these favorite things
And then I know I'll pull through!

Hiking up mountains and pitching a tent,
Learning the gospel our time is well spent.
BACK TO OUR FUTURE is our common goal,
The Kingdom Celestial is where we must go.

**CHORUS
Set my sights on the temple
Let that be my goal
If I stand for truth and righteousness,
I'll get there yet, I know!

As part of certification everyone is required to read their scriptures.
A great addition to this would be to give everyone a sheet of "Camp Scripture Stickers" to mark their scriptures to remind them of what they learned it at camp. The good feelings will return whenever they see the scriptures they have marked.

We had each ward put together a couple of mormon ads for a short skit.

These are a couple of the ones that we did as a stake.

(To the tune of Oscar Meyer Weyners)

Two people sitting on a dock in overalls. (like in the old commercial)
1st person sings: This program has a first name. It's Y O U N G.
2nd person sings: This program has a second name. It's W O M E N.
1st person sings: Oh, we love this program in every way.
2nd person sings: And if you ask us why we'll say:
Both Together: The G O S P E L is T R U E true!

******************************************************************************

(Two people, one in a bathrobe talking with a nasal voice.)

1st person says: Hi ________________. (happily)
2nd person says: Oh, Hi _______________.(nasal voice)
1st person says: Gee, you don't sound very good.
2nd person says: I don't feel very good either. (Sniff Sniff)
1st person says: Well, whenever I'm not feeling great, I take PERSONAL PROGRESS. Two value experiences make me feel better immediately.
Narrator says: PERSONAL PROGRESS -- the learning, growing, sharing, so-you-can-get-to-the-temple-medicine!

Person with watch. Listens to the watch. Takes it off. Shakes it. Throws it down. Stomps on it. Picks it up. Listens. Smiles. Puts watch back on.

Every year we have a couple of jars or containers filled with different kinds of candy. We let people try to guess how many are in them and then at flag ceremony we give it to the winner. We had a couple of them for each day. The girls love to do this. Especially the Bee Hives.
