girlie camp

YW Girls' Camp = p.h.e.n.o.m.e.n.a.l.

I don't even know where to start...

We spent our days tubing, kayaking, swimming, sweating, certifying, repelling, avoiding spiders, hiking, sleeping, playing, and a little more sweating!

Our nights were filled with MarioKart skits, inspiration, motivation, giggling, star gazing, how-we-met stories, avoiding spiders and more giggling.

I don't know that we could have had a hotter (temperature well over 90 degrees) or a more humid (also over 90%) week, yet we all survived.

I can't even begin to say how grateful I am for the youth I work with. They were by far the best behaved, most respectful, cheeriest, eager to help, kind and fun. I'm not just saying that because they're "my girls" but because it was the truth! We didn't have a single problem with any of our girls. I think any and all leaders/adults would agree they were awesome!

The leaders were clearly fearless...
And the girls were daring (and freakin' adorable!)...
The best part is, I finally feel like I am influencing them for the better...

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Grandma H for watching Hazel all week so that I could spend the week with my girlies.

I'm glad you had fun! Our girls camp out here is all run by the Stake and the Ward leaders don't even go. (Not that I would have been able to go this year anyway). Working with the Youth is the greatest blessing!
