Girls Camp

 Because the youth are all going to Martins Cove in a month, we decided to shorten camp and just have a two day camp.  It was held in the river bottoms at Charlie's.  There were some grumbles but we still sent them home very tired!

We went on a hike first thing--after we crossed the river.

Ivan Mercado, our priesthood for the day

 Sherleen was our camp director again. 

She is amazing and despite hating to camp, makes it the best camp the girls have ever had.

 Playing in the river is good motivation to get the certification done.  It had cooled down to 72 degrees while we were there with a breeze so their teeth are chattering!  I can't believe how much they loved playing in the mud!

 Natalie, the Mia Maid advisor--she looks like one of the girls!

She and Teresa had a CNA class and came to camp after!  We were glad to have them.

We decorated t-shirts and made little lanterns, had a Value Presentation, enjoyed a delicious chicken dinner, created a hugging chain after testimony meeting, froze to death during the night and woke to frost, embarrassed ourselves, and swam to ourn hearts content--oh ya,and completed all the certification!
