GIRLS CAMP

LOS ALTOS WARD GIRLS CAMP 2009
Being in the Young Womens program I had the priviledge of helping with & attending Girls Camp this year. It was a blast! We have a small group, but were so excited that we had a large group show up for camp. It was a ward camp & we had 7 girls come. That's wonderful for us considering we have maybe 2 girls that attend church & maybe 3 that attend mutual each week. We had a wonderful camp director that had things so organized for us.
We had fun getting to know each other, making scripture tote bags, making journals, going on a short hike...
& endless amounts of friendship bracelets...
And that was just the first day & a half. The second day was spent having a "beauty" day. (After our early morning hike.) We made bath salts & lip gloss & had make up tips from our camp director Liisa. We also gave the girls assignments & budgets to shop for & cook dinner for the Bishop. Bishop came up later this day & gave us a devotional, played his guitar, sang songs & played games with us after a wonderful dinner prepared by the girls. Nothing better than playing "Squeel Piggy Squeel" with the bishop & his wife. HI-larious!! Saturday morning came a scavenger hunt & clean up time. All in all it was a WONDERFUL time!
The above picture is in here just for fun. Bonnie is our YW President & one of the coolest ladies ever. She's so fun! We were laughing hysterically at this & I honestly don't even remember why. Just that something was so funny & we made Erik take a picture of us squatting over the dutch oven dinner! Fun times, fun times....

Camp is a great way for the girls to get closer to each other and their leaders. That's neat that you are in the Young Women. I've been in the Y.W. most of my married life. I love it! I went to camp this year too but with the stake. It was a lot of fun. glad you had a good time!

I went to Girl's camp this year too, but I was a wimp and only went for 1 day. We had Ward Camp this year, 30 girls attended! Crazy!
