WORKSHOPS
Workshops provide hands on training in Dutch oven cooking, group games, processing, first aid, R.O.P.E.S. courses and everything Brighton. Staff are trained in unifying and supporting their campers, in building trust, growing in unity and strengthening testimony. Our workshops are only the beginning of an active learning and growing experience for all staff. Come stretch yourself and experience Brighton with us!
Our events and workshops unify our staff, and prepare them to be active role models of discovery and growth both spiritually and personally. We teach and demonstrate first aid, outdoor cooking, outdoor camping skills, and appreciation of the beautiful surroundings at Brighton. Brighton Girls Camp is a camp of faith, where gospel topics are openly taught, where we learn the language of the Holy Ghost, and we feel the love of our Savior Jesus Christ.
