At girls camp this year, our goal was to Become Unified Gospel Sisters. Here is a peek at the kinds of activities we did at girls camp!
We...
 |
| ...each had a bug, a color, and a young women value. The stake were yellow bees and our value was Good Works. At our headquarters ("The Hive"), each girl had a bug jar where campers could leave sweet notes. The nets were for secret wards who left each other treats each day. Our flag combined all the young women value colors in the wings! |
 |
| ...sang silly camp songs, led by our Youth Camp Leaders... |
 |
| ...ate lunch and dinners all together under the pavilion... |
 |
| ...using our very own mess kits... |
 |
| ...played unity games where we got to know each other better... |
 |
| (rotate talking to a new person every couple minutes!) |
 |
| (cross the finish line while tied together!) |
 |
| (flip over the tarp without anyone stepping on the dirt!) |
 |
| ...hung out by (and in) the lake... |
 |
| ...did crafts... |
 |
| ...survived a few downpours and a thunder and lightening storm... |
 |
| ...did presentations about each one of the YW values... |
 |
| ...sang spiritual songs like "I am a Child of God" and the round "Father I Adore You" and talked about how singing parts together is a unifying experience... |
 |
| ...rehearsed for our Bishop's night skits... |
 |
| ....slept in (sometimes leaking) tents... |
 |
| ...hung out with our wards... |
 |
| ...had dinner with our stake president, bishop, and high councilman... |
 |
| ...put up and took down the flag each morning, said a prayer, sang a hymn, and gave a thought for opening and closing ceremonies... |
 |
| ...performed our skits (ours was a clever knock off on "royals" by Lorde, words by Traci Peterson)... |
 |
| ...I had a bit of a solo... |
 |
| ...and we even had baby bees!... |
 |
| ...did Madlibs with all the bishops... |
 |
| ...went on a scavenger hunt... |
 |
| ...and made new friends, strengthened existing friendships, and grew closer to our Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ! |
