Today I selected the themes for the Come Follow Me camp and I am ready to announce who will be giving away free gifts at our camps next month. I am so grateful to all who are helping to brighten the summer of so many children during this quarantine and recent incidences of racism. The recent racist acts and COVID-19 world crisis were heavily on my heart and mind as I prayed about and selected the topics for the Come Follow Me Camp. I will also be considering these issues as I select the materials for our Disney Baking and Cooking Around the World Camp so that this can be an opportunity for children to gain an open mind about other cultures. The topics for for our Come Follow Me camp, which is open to everyone of all faiths, will be:
Love One Another (Two Days)
Joy In Any Season
Sincere Prayer
Opposition in All Things
My hope and prayer is that these camp days will bring you and your children closer to the Savior and help you love others more freely, embrace kindness to all no matter their skin color, and give you hope and peace during these difficult times. I will have a site page up soon with a set schedule and who will be our special guests for each day. You will also be able to access a small list of materials that you will need for each activity each day. Each camp will be a total of three hours worth of activities and learning, not including the one hour lunch break each day.
There has been some confusion about how to join each event. Simply go here, and click on the events you are interested in and join! Please feel free to invite your family and friends to these free events! As I said before, joining the event is not a commitment to do every activity or be involved every single day. You can do as much or as little as you choose! But, you do need to join the event and be present for the drawing each day to win and to receive the free gift!

To enter these giveaways, simple go here, to join the event and then tell how your family helped during the COVID-19 crisis or tell something you are doing to educate your family against racism Examples include, but are not limited to:
- Reading a book by a black or minority author. Or a book advocating black voices.
- Making masks for healthcare workers or those in need.
- Watching a movie as a family like Remember the Titans, The Color of Friendship, or Hidden Figures.
- Sending cards to nursing homes or those who are sick.
- Learn as a family about different cultures around the world. You can use an article like this!
- Decorating the sidewalks with encouraging quarantine messages.
- Talk with your kids about racial differences and the importance of kindness to everyone.
- Donating to a local food bank.
These are just some examples. You may have better ideas! Please share photos if you have them, but do not feel like you have to share a photo. Simply post the act of education or service that you and your family did on the event wall and you will automatically be entered into the drawings for that camp! (Once you win a prize one time, you may not be eligible to win another prize at that camp or any other. We want everyone to have an opportunity to win!) If you haven't done any service or any of these education ideas yet, it is okay! The camps do not begin until July, so you have time!
Please message me on Facebook if you have any questions!
