Walk with Me

“Behold my Spirit is upon you, wherefore all thy words will I justify; and the mountains shall flee before you, and the rivers shall turn from their course; and thou shalt abide in me, and I in you; therefore walk with me.” —Moses 6:34

Young Women's Camp

Hey Lovely Young Women —

I’m so excited to share the save-the-date for our 2026 Young Women’s Camp — and this year is going to be extra special. We’re heading to a brand-new location: Camp Sullivan, June 8–12, 2026 — and trust me, you don’t want to miss this.

Why Camp Sullivan is Going to Be Incredible

Right in the heart of nature: Camp Sullivan is nestled in the Tinley Creek Forest Preserve, with 13+ miles of trails winding through prairies, woods, wetlands, and ravines.
Iconic red barn: When you arrive, you’re greeted by a big red barn that’s not just cute — it’s fun. Inside, there’s a rock-climbing wall!
Modern but rustic lodging: We’ll be staying in fairly new bunkhouses that sleep a large group, plus some cozy cabins. The bunkhouses are designed for groups — think of roomy sleeping areas, community gathering spaces, and shared bathrooms — but still letting you feel like you’re camping.
Close to home: Camp Sullivan is easily accessible, it’s only about an hour drive south from the stake center.
Spiritual space in nature: Being in this forest preserve gives us a beautiful natural backdrop for our spiritual growth, devotionals, campfires, and meaningful talks under the stars.

Why You’ll Love This Week

Friendships: It’s the perfect place to laugh, bond, and make new connections — in bunkhouses and around camp fires.
Spiritual Growth: We’ll have dedicated time for gospel devotionals, scriptures, and reflection in a space that feels calm and close to God’s creation.
Fun & Reflection: From trail walks and new games to cozy nights under the stars, you’ll get the adventure and the peace.

So again — MARK YOUR CALENDAR: June 8–12, 2026, at Camp Sullivan, Oak Forest, IL.
We’ll follow up soon with registration details, packing lists, and everything you need to know.

Get excited! This is going to be a week of FAITH, FRIENDSHIP and FUN. I can’t wait to see you there.

With lots of love,
Heather Wade
Stake Young Women’s Camp Director
