Stake Realignment Notice
Although stake boundaries have recently changed, all units that were part of the Wake Forest Stake when camp planning began are invited and welcome to attend. We look forward to having all of our young men and leaders join us for a great week at camp as originally planned.
Payment Information
Youth camp fees should be paid through your ward/unit.
Electronic payments can be made through the Church donation system using the "Local - Youth Camp Registration" category.
Paper payment methods may still be used if preferred. Please coordinate with your ward leaders if financial assistance is needed.
Adult leaders attend at no cost. We ask that all leaders complete the registration process before camp so we can properly plan and prepare. We appreciate your willingness to serve and mentor the young men.
Registration Information
Parents or guardians completing registration for their child should submit a separate registration form for each young man attending camp.
Permission Forms
The permission form must be completed and signed by both the youth and a parent or guardian before attending camp.
