Our camp was called Poochermonkey Pass. Seriously.
Our theme was Virtue so the 1st counselor made this amazing flag for us.
Our camp had to be the most organized in the whole stake!
Isn't this Secret Sister mailbox amazing? There were cute tags labeling each girl's pocket and the sign was hand crafted by one of our leaders.
PJS- Scripture/Journal time
Beautiful scenery of the Uintah Mountains
Me on 4 hours of sleep... YIKES!
Our Stake Camp theme was based on the story of Esther in the Bible. They made a fabulous feast one night of Middle Eastern food which I loved- quinoa with nuts, skewered beef and veggie kabobs, pita bread and hummus. Seriously loved it.
Our craft was plaques which read "For Such a Time as This" over each girl's name.
Our individual ward's theme was Virtue and we based it on LOTR so we had the "Fellowship of the Ring of Virtue" and the girls wore cloaks and did a parody of the movie for Skit Night.
We all participated in a great service project making quilts for orphanages in Guatemala.
Funny costumes were worn
Pranks were played
Nature was enjoyed
A good time was had by all!
Yes, even me... It was great. It surprises me (and probably some of you) how much I love camping. It was so wonderful to just get away from all other demands and focus on nothing but nature, serving others, and seeking the Spirit of the Lord. I felt uplifted and strengthened. I got to know the girls better. I grew to love the leaders even more. I learned more about Esther and her faith. I gained appreciation for the amazing strength of the young girls in our ward. I was reminded of why I love living in Utah and being surrounded by mountains. I am so thankful that I was able to go, with the help of Jill, my mom, and Jared. Thanks you guys!!

I'm glad you had a good time and that things turned out so well. The planning that goes into camp is not to be believed, but there's a reason for it and it looks like those meetings paid off eh?
P.S. I'm not freakin sleeping right now!
I am not fond of camping but this does look enjoyable-- for you and the girls. I'm sure it was an experience all will remember.
I am so glad you had a good time! I love, love, love girls camp. It the perfect setting to feel the spirit and have some fun!
Oh & you on 4 hours sleep -- you look fab!
