Invictus Camp is almost here!
We will be meeting at the Yokota Air Base Chapel on June 11th by 3:00 pm for those with Base access.
For those without Base access, the plan is to meet at the Yokota LDS church building at 2:00 p.m. on June 11th. (Check with your ward/branch leaders regarding travel to and from the event!)
Camp will be finished by 10:30 a.m. on June 15th.
Please ensure that you have paid the camp fee of $200 for each attendee to your respective Bishopric/Branch Presidency. It was due on May 15th. Please also make sure you’ve have your parent/guardian sign and turn in the permission/medical release form to your local Bishopric/Branch Presidecy.
Please find below the packing list for the week. Ensure to bring your government issued ID, you will not be able to attend camp without this. Let's also learn from last year...and bring and apply sunscreen...:)
Youth leaders from each unit have planned activities. We are confident it will be an incredible experience and look forward to having you all at Invictus Camp!
