Ward Girls Camp Day 1



June 13

Ward Girls Camp

This year was wards camp throughout the stake.  Our 2nd counselor has a family cabin that her grandparents let us use.  It was up at Strawberry Reservoir.  We had lots of fun.  Hiking, color walk, canoeing, crafts, certification, secret sister, snipe hunting for the Beehives.  All the leaders had their own beds and basically rooms upstairs.  The YCL's (Youth Camp Leaders) all slept up in the attic loft (5 beds there), then the rest of the girls slept on the bottom floor spread throughout the room.  The main level was for food and gathering (our president slept in the room off the kitchen because she wanted to be close to the kitchen since she took care of the food).

We started out at the church by 8:00 am for donuts and chocolate milk and then headed out from there.

Skit time.  Each year had to get together and make up a skit.  Each group was given one of the YW Values.  The leaders decided to put one on as well and we gave the priesthood a value to make a skit too.
