Certification

Much of the required certification can be completed before going to camp. Our stake will hold a Pre Camp Certification Clinic to help with this. It will be held on Saturday April 27th. The stake will be passing off all the first aid requirements. HERE is a link for more information.


* Certification is completed by age and not the number of years the girls have attended camp.
* It doesn't matter if they have completed the years of certification below their age group.  They don't need to complete previous years of certification in order to move on.
