“The youth need to be anxiously engaged in this work right now. They will help identify things to do—ways of accomplishing this work that majestically move this work all over the earth. Please do not underestimate what those Aaronic Priesthood quorums and Young Women classes can accomplish. When the Elders quorums, Relief Societies, Aaronic Priesthood quorums and Young Women classes are ‘laser-beam singularly focused’ on the work of salvation, the miracles that occur in the advancement of this work in the earth will be astronomical.” David A. Bednar Temple and Family History Leadership, RootsTech 2020

Where to start? In the Youth menu The Family History Guide there is an entry for Latter-day Saints, which has a tile for Ward and Stake Activities. That page has a new addition, Youth Family History Discovery Camp, which contains a complete manual for running a full family history discovery experience for youth, originated by Christine Francis, a popular RootsTech speaker.

Here’s a glimpse at what’s on the website page …

This is a full seven-day family history camp for youth ages 11-18. Activities include games, timelines, mapping. memory books, devotionals, creating a family legacy video, and more.
