Girls Camp

Does anyone else feel like I do.....I can't wait until camp is over and then when it is over, I wish I was back up at camp?
We had an amazing camp. This year it was just a kick back and enjoy camp for me. Maybe not for the ward camp directors but for the stake, it was great.
We had some great leaders up at camp along with some great youth.....
I love singing the camp songs. This year we had a music director Heather Cash who did a great job keeping us singing at the beginning of every event.

I loved that she didn't just stand up and sing but involved the youth buy having them come up and do the motions and help her sing.

We went up to Camp Zerahemla in Davis county. They had just put up a flag pool at the top of the hill for a virtue flag. For our hike, we hiked up and hung the flag. Then we were able to bare our testimonies. I was so glad that I had that opportunity to bare my testimony because I try to let the youth have the time during the testimony meeting.

It was so fun to watch the flag fly from where every we were. It looked awesome!

Of course my favorite is the water...The camp provided the slide for us. We took a lot of soap and we slid! What a blast.

Okay, so we did have a little too much time on our hands as Stake leaders. What was funny is that we all put on fake nose rings and went to tell bed time stories to the wards. I could not do it with the jewel on my nose. I had to remove it before I could read. Amazing how the spirit reveals things to me that I know I should not be doing.

We did bead watches for one of our crafts. They were a big success. Thanks Amber :)

For our service project we planted flowers. The sister Missionary was so excited that we were going to plant flowers. She was so cute.

What's camp without s'mores? Thanks 3rd ward for the ummy s'mores....and 10th ward for the yummy dutch oven cobbler. We ate very well while at camp.

Of course there is the snipe hunt and the pranks. Yes, this is our Brittney. She scared the daylights out of the girls along with another ward that was up there with us. I could hear the screams clear up to the lodge.

And what can I say about our cute camp director from the 7th ward? I love her! She is a prankster but in a tactful way. I went to get my air mattress out and this is what I found. I think I was in shock for the first minute until the name...WENDY came into my mind. Then I just laughed.

We did keep her for the next night when the priesthood came up and we put her in the bathroom. You should have seen the faces as they would come out of the bathroom. I can't even imagine what the other ward "not in our stake" thought of our prank. It was the only bathroom for priesthood up there, so you know they had to have gone in.

Well back to what I said at the beginning. . . I wish I was up at camp again. I had so much fun and I love being with the youth. They have the sweetest spirit about them. I love singing and staying up late (only for you Brittney) playing farkle. I love being in nature. I think the best part of camp was having my Desi with me and watching how well she did our camp. The Missionaries asked me "doesn't that just make you proud of her"? Yes! I was so proud of her and the way she made this camp happen. She is an amazing leader and so very dedicated. I didn't worry about a thing because I knew she had it all under control.

Thank you Desi and all the great leaders that help make this one of our best camps ever.
