Summer = Girls Camp

I have officially attended my first Girls Camp since I was 14 years old. Yep...I rebelled and never went after I was 14. I am NOT a camper and back then Girls Camp was always just as it reads...camping. This year it was more along the lines of a Girls Retreat. It was just our ward so we were lucky enough to use someone's cabin in our ward. Lucky us!! We had 32 Young Women and 7-8 leaders. The cabin was down by Scofield Reservoir and it had enough bunk beds for all the adults to use. Then the girls 'camped' out on the carpeted floor for the very few hours they were asleep.

We had a great time...we went on a 'hike' (it was more of a walk.) Right as we were about to start back it started raining and coming down pretty hard. We were all soaked by the time we got back and pretty muddy. We played some games based off of the 'Survivor' theme and the girls all had to eat some interesting things. Love being a leader so that I don't have to participate in those things, just watch and take pictures. We made some camp journals, had a few speakers, played lots of card games and ate and ate and ate. The food was delish.

It was only 2 1/2 days and just as everyone was getting really tired and probably turning cranky and emotional, it was time to clean up and come home. It was so nice, there was no drama and fun was had by everyone there.

Here are some pictures from the week:

All the YCL's or as I call them 'My Laurels'

Glad it was fun! That is really the best way to do it, I think. I am so not a camper either. Your pictures bring back some memories!!

That is my idea of camping!! I'm not a camper either and I dreaded going. I'm all about the cabins!
