It was AWESOME!!


Girls camp as a leader is so much more fabulous.  A TON of work, but totally awesome.  I had fabulous help (thanks Kim, Jenny, and Balinda), and we ate awesome.  Little to no sleep, sore calves, tick scares, camp fires, and thunderstorms.  It was great!

Our theme was 'Oh the Places You'll Go.'  Each morning and evening we had a devotional based upon places these girls will go in life: Motherhood, the Temple, Missons, College, High School, etc.  Our YCL's did the devotionals and each went well.  Our final evening we did a faith walk/Iron Rod Experience.  It was so neat.  I just sat and cried as I drew all sorts of parallels to life and to each of these girls.  Judging from their comments, it was a moving experience for each of them as well.

Here's a quick run-down.

The Leaders...


We visited the temple...

Testimonies and friendships were strengthened.  Laughter and games were shared.  Tummies were full.  Hearts were happy.  It was awesome!
