Girls Camp

I have been wanting to post about girls camp for a while but just haven't been home long enough to do it! So I finally found a minute......Our theme this year was "Princess, Daughter of a Heavenly King." Our Laurels planned and carried out most of it, and they did a fantastic job! We wanted all the girls to know and feel how special they truly are! On the last night we had them get all dressed up with hair and makeup and had a dinner fit for a King! I know your thinking this is girls camp.....not a spa camp! But, here in our ward we do it with style and comfort!!! I know there were some girls that would rather camp under the stars and not even look in a mirror, but if I'm a counselor in Young Women I will do all I can to avoid that! Ha ha just kidding, kinda :) This camp was especially exceptional because Taylar, my oldest was able to go! I loved every minute being there with her!
One of the days at G.C. we went boating....It was a blast! What makes it even more fun is when all the leaders get involved and go out on the torpedo too! (Sorry I don't have a picture to prove it)

With any calling you have to be flexible and spontaneous!!! So on day 3 we had to rearrange our plans and ended up at a cemetery playing in the ditch! Ha ha, well sorta, Sister Wood, one of the leaders does this as a family tradition! They take off their shoes and straddle the canal and try to jump up and touch your feet together without falling in! It was so funny to see all the girls get up the guts to try it! Taylar barely was able to straddle the thing.....she has such short legs.
We have the best group of Young Women around!! They are all so wonderful! They make this calling the best ever!!!
I absolutely LOVE my calling and who I serve with!!!! These women are such great examples to me! I will be sad when we will have to move on and get different callings! In this picture above we are missing two other lady's that had to get home early for one reason or another! They were missed. Thank you everyone!

Some of my favorite memories are from girls camp...crashing them that is. Looks fun, working with the youth is certainly rewarding!
