Girls Camp

As you can see I haven't posted anything since April, well it was about that time that I became the Girls Camp Director for my ward. Our ward was in a bind because something came up and the original director was moving. So I had to hustle to get things all planned and in order before June. That's right we went during the first part of June when all the weather knew how to do was rain! Luckily we had a couple afternoons of sunshine and cabins. Sometimes it is nice to get done with girls camp week so that the rest of the summer is open for other fun things. We had dutch oven dinners and good traditional breakfasts, mmm...probably one of my favorite parts about camping. The girls were so awesome and I'm going to miss them! They really made me feel like a teenage girl again. We stayed up late playing games and snacked on food as if we were royalty. I don't think any of them ever complained about preparing meals, and they were always asking "What can I do to help?" Along with the girls, I had amazing leaders who would bend over backwards if I asked them to. All in all, the experience was so fun and I learned a couple things that would improve girls camp next year.

We painted little wooden cars one afternoon for hospitalized children for a craft/service activity. They turned out so dang cute!

I hope I never get too old for Girls Camp!
