Consider starting your own Laura Camp for girls.
Laura Camp is a time for:
- studying the Bible,
- visiting the Little House Books, and
- doing activities with a pioneer flavor.
Laura Campers will make journals for Bible study notes, read in the Little House Books, and do as many fun activities as possible.
The camp format is flexible.
The Laura Camp book includes curriculum for a week of camp but you may choose just the activities that your time allows. Curriculum can be used for:
- vacation Bible school,
- weekly Bible study,
- homeschool class,
- youth group,
- day camp, or
- church camp.
Bring girls together at a church, a log cabin, a dining room table, a tent, or a full-service church camp. Laura was comfortable in a variety of settings, and your Laura girls will be, too.
You might start a Laura Camp, help someone else use the material, encourage girls to attend a Laura Camp, or sit down at the table with your own daughters or neices or neighbors and do the Bible study. Please use it so that young women have an opportunity to hear the Gospel, whether for the first time or the tenth. God knows your schedule, your facilities, your resources, and your community. May He bless you and your imagination.
Curriculum is available, free.
A week's curriculum is available as a PDF. You may download the PDF for free, The Lord Is My Shepherd, PDF. This curriculum is a gift from one part of the body of Christ to another. You are welcome to reproduce parts for your camp use.
It contains:
- a five day Bible Study with teacher pages and student journal pages,
- instructions for pioneer related activities,
- suggested chapters to read in the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, and
- many ideas for setting up a Laura Camp.
