Girls Camp-Monday July 9th

Girls Camp! I was excited to get to go again this year. We had four leaders: Mindy, Carrie, Aleshia, and me;five girls in our cabin-Shae, Aubrey, Marinn, Syree, and Amelia; and two girls were YCLs in the stake cabins-Sara and Savanah. At 6am Monday we loaded up in the buses and headed off to Heber Valley Girls Camp. This camp is just gorgeous and the spirit is so strong all around, we are so lucky to get to go every year.
After unloading off the buses and unloading the truck and trailer, we had a special speaker. She talked about her trials with leukemia at age 16 and turning to Him. Then we did a service project. We were making baby rattles, rolling yarn, and tying quilts.

Sara showing off her messy book.
Messy books are like a journal that you put scrapbook paper on random pages, write in, and tape random things in. It's like a journal except you might have rocks and sticks taped in it. Our ward made them last year and this year too.

The YCLs introducing this years camp theme and showing off their flag for their country.
The theme this year was "The Light Within" and it was an Olympic theme. The YCLs were London, since they were "hosting" the Olympics. Their color was white-Faith. Our ward was Germany and our color was purple-Integrity.YCLs teaching everyone the camp dance. It was fun to have a dance this year and just have something else to do and bring the group together.Everyone doing the camp dance. That is my ward in the purple sweatshirts.
