Girls Camp

We recently had our ward's girls camp. It was a ton of fun. The first day was spent at a ropes coarse in Provo where the girls and some leaders were able to zip-line, do a huge swing, rock climbing/repelling, and play some team-building games. They all had a ton of fun. Afterwards we went canoeing and jumped in the river to cool off (no pictures of that because I didn't trust our canoeing skills enough to bring along the camera-and it was a good thing!) We also found a rope swing along the river that several of us used to jump in. Kipp was one of the Priesthood members that came along that day along with our friend Jeff Wood-they had fun with the group-and I think a couple of the girls developed a little crush! Kipp and Jeff were very helpful and also provided some good laughs. At one point Jeff biffed it pretty hard. I was glad to see Ann Marie laugh at her husband-it made me feel better about laughing at him as well!

A picture of all our crazy girls and leaders and our instructor that day.

Right before Jeff ate it on the low ropes coarse. If only I had taken it a second later!

Jeff on the giant swing-this was by far the girls' favorite activity!

Cute girls!
We then headed up to the Spruces where our campsite was. We had a Boot Camp theme this year-"Be Of One Team"-and we talked about putting on the Armor of God and made our personal Titles of Liberty. Our camp director did such a cute job planning and putting together so many fun things for the girls. All of us sporting our camp shirtsWe hike Doughnut Falls-which really isn't a long hike at all-but we hiked from our campground instead of driving which turned into about a 5 mile hike. We had a couple of leaders carrying infants and the girls were tired-but they were all great sports!Some of our sweet YW on the hike We have the best leaders and Priesthood leaders ta-boot!The night that they Bishopric came up, we performed skits using bags with a bunch of random things in them. It was leaders vs. the YW. The leaders cheated a little by adding other things to the bag and we were not so creative and used the one person puts their arms through the sleeves of the shirt and does the other's makeup and brushes their teeth. We had a great time though and I nearly wet my pants several times. The girls were very creative and stuck to the rules and came up with a great skit.

I had to include these great pictures I got of the girls and Rebecca playing chubby bunny! Hopefully none of them will be upset with me including them! I can't play this game-it makes me sick! But it sure was fun watching. Actually watching made me a little sick too!
