Just like Taylor's song '22' it was "miserable and magical in the best way!" In fact we (the Stake Camp Leaders) welcomed the girls to camp with our own version of '22' - our version was '42' in honor of my birthday and our ages. Yep, started off camp embarrassing Susie-Q and continued that later in the evening with our synchronized swimming skit ... lol! Hopefully she has recovered by now!
Here is a clip of that skit ...
Here are 3 of my favorite things about camp this year...
The COPE COURSE
(COPE = challenging outdoor personal experience)
It was amazing to watch Susie and the girls tackle these elements with strength and bravery ... and to see their confidence in themselves grow and to watch them become closer as groups. Awesome!
Multi-vine Traverse
Milk Crate Climbing
The Confidence Pole
Night Zip line
This activity is reserved for the level 5 and 6 year girls - Since I was over the level 5 girls I got to get in on the action!
SCRIPTURE STUDY
Each day the entire camp gathered for 15 minutes of scripture study @ the pavilion. We had purchased a pocket size Book of Mormon for each girl with our (the Stake Camp Leaders) testimony in it. We also had these incredible booklets to go along with our theme each day - they were full of scripture references, quotes, pictures, and personal progress challenges - they were like a printed out pinterest board and the girls really loved them.
A copy of the book is available through the links below - it is not editable. I am also including the clip art we used for the cover (second link) - we lost our original cover, but you can use the clip art to create your own with the current year and camp etc.
Good luck!
THE GIRLS
Watching them have fun and feel the spirit made all of the work and worry worth it!
