I LOVED our camp ground. It's in Morgan. It's called Camp Zarahemla. And it's run by the cutest missionary couple you will ever meet in your lifetime.
Our theme was E.R. for Eternal Rewards, but we totally played up the medical part of it. We had scrubs, doctor ID's, syringe pens, and many other medically related items for the girls.
They have a giant hill for tubing/slip 'n' sliding (yes, it's more fun if you do it in a chain):
The aftermath of the mud that the slip 'n' slip created:
The girls making the cutest ever pop top bracelets:
And tying the cutest ever rag flip-flops:
My awesome hubs and his awesome dad who came up on Bishopric night and made delicious dutch oven chicken and potatoes. And don't forget apple and peach cobbler for dessert!
Making the cutest ever Lifesaver mail boxes:
What happens when you don't get up when your told:
Me and Sheryl, one of my perfect assistants:
The girls doing their skits. I have about 857 pictures of the girls doing their skits, but I'm thinking they are only going to be funny to me :) So here is a picture of one of my 4th years giving our Priesthood helper a pedicure (gross).
The entire gang and all our silliness:
A gift from my secret sister :)
Cute girls decorating their cute scrubs:
Our camp ground was right by the river:
And we got to go tubing down it:
These AWESOME girls cut thistle for their service project. The cute missionary couple was SO grateful. (Did I mention they were the cutest couple ever?)
Breakfast on the last morning :(
I am SO PEEVED that we didn't get any pictures of our Iron Rod activity. I was stressed about this for MONTHS and it turned out even better than I planned. We did a reenactment of Lehi's dream. The girls started off walking past the "great and spacious building" where the 6th year girls were mocking them. Then, one by one, they were blind folded and placed alone on the Iron Rod. This was not an easy path. Oh, and it was dark. And did I mention they were blind folded? The path started out going down a steep hill, then weaved through the trees, went over a dirt hill, through waist-high grass, through a rocky valley, and across a dirt road. There were also tempters along the way to try and get them to let go of the rod. If they let go, they had to repent, then they were put back on the rod. At the end of the Iron Rod, was the tree of life where each girl got a "fruit" bag with some gifts relating to camp. The YW president read a quote about the tree of life, and then we listened to the song. Oh, the song. I can't even talk about it without weeping like a baby. It just hit so close to home for those girls and the trials they face as teenagers. SO. AWESOME.
I had one leader tell me it was the best girls camp she'd ever been too.
It was the best girls camp I'd ever been to, too :)
