Brighton LDS Girls Camp 90th Year: Already Memorable

1921-2011 Celebrating 90 Years

This summer marks the 90th Anniversary of the Brighton LDS Girls Camp, located in Big Cottonwood Canyon, east of Salt Lake City, Utah. Brighton Camp began in the summer of 1921,  and has the distinction of being the first and oldest continually running Latter-day Saint Girls camp in church history. It has welcomed girls ages 12-14 uninterrupted each and every summer since its dedication, [except one, due to a forest fire which destroyed most of the original buildings].  This summer also marks two more memorable “firsts” for Brighton.

Miracle From Heaven

Joy Of The Lord- By Liz Lemon Swindle

In 2009 three nationally known artists joined talents to share their witnesses of Jesus Christ. The “Son of Man Project“ was created to combine artwork of renowned Christian artist Liz Lemon Swindle, the music of acclaimed composer Kenneth Cope, and the writings of religious scholar Susan Easton-Black

“at completion, the Son of Man project will include a four-volume book series, an original two-volume musical score, and over one hundred paintings and sketches celebrating the life of the Savior.”

The attached video produced by B. Hillman combines Kenneth Cope’s song “Miracle From Heaven“ with art-work by Liz Lemon Swindle, and enjoy rare behind-the-scene footage of Ms. Swindle’s staged subject photo-shoots.

Joy To The World For Everyone

On The 18th Day of Christmas Countdown feel blessings from above …

while watching the ”Joy To Everyone“ music video, made with love!

Last year, Stephen Jones, Dean of the College of Fine Arts and Communications at Brigham Young University, teamed up with BYU alumni and some of Utah’s finest studio musicians to create a gift of music. The result was a song and a video that has inspired thousands. 
“Joy to Everyone This Christmas,” came as an inspiration to Jones. “Our hope is to share this gift and invite people to serve others and spread joy in their own communities this season,” Jones said. Emmy-award winning composer and producer Sam Cardon and vocalists Jenny Jordan Frogley and David Osmond collaborated with Jones to write and produce the song. University photographer Mark Philbrick provided images from around the world to be used in the music video. Philbrick’s photos represent people from all parts of the globe to echo the words of the song:
“Let all the world join… every nation and land. Everyone.”
