I love Girls Camp...

Wayne saying goodbye...he always does a great job holding down the fort for a full week!!! He also carries and loads EVERYTHING for me (and I take a bunch of shtuff)
AWWW...Britt came up to the YCL rock and hung out while I got pictures of all my girls! Britt is so fun to have around!
When you get a package sent to you at camp you have to sing to receive it...The P4 MIAMAIDS received a package and they all sang I'm a little teapot. It was adorable and everyone cheered!!!My 2009 YCL group...all of our hard work since January payed off at camp...we had a great theme, the T-shirts were adorable and the girls had great devotionals every night. It's so fun to work with the youth leaders and their desire to make it fun for all the girls. It's fun to see them develop their leadership skills. What a privilege to be called as their leader!!!

P4 3rd years get a package...blowing a kiss to their friend who didn't come to camp and still thought of them. FRIENDS are AWESOME!!!3rd year girls getting ready to go on their overnight backpacking adventure...this is Britt's group of girls in our Stake and they are all as fun as she is...she is lucky to have such a great group of church friends!!!
Can we go already?
THEIR BACK... I was down in the local town with a 2nd year who needed stitches so I didn't get to be in camp when Britt came back (duty calls and I was a stake leader) She had a great time and I made sure those who were in camp got some pictures for me.
Group picture...Brittany and Holly always seemed to know when I was taking a picture and they always posed for me (even when I didn't know)...they are in the middle giving me the 3rd year sign!!!
Britt breaking all the rules and jumping off the YCL rock as a 3rd year...her YCL's invited her so I guess it's not that bad!!!
I love the look on Britt's face and on Holly's...the girl they are talking to is a little annoying and their faces show their dis-interest in what said girl is saying...I love it!!!I love that the Brethren in our stake have such a big part in our camp...they always have so much fun...in the above shot they are throwing water on Brother Schuler who was in charge of our MANDATORY firedrill...after Schuler's speech some of the Brethren came running out yelling FIRE! FIRE! and threw pitchers of water on Brother Schuler...of course the girls thought this was great! Below is the Brethren singing "the Brethren Can" (tune of Candyman) to our Stake Camp Director Vicki Larson...so fun!!! What a fun bunch of worthy priesthood holders!!!

This is one of my YCL's who happens to also be in my ward...she's jumping off the YCL rock while high fiving her dad!!!
Britt & Holly...nothing like a good friend!
Another YCL..."fake" jumping with Brother Berckmoes who is the high counselor over the YW and Bishop Daniels of the 4th ward...a lot of these brethren have been coming to camp for years and have a great relationship with the girls!!!
Britt and Kadi squishing Holly...I don't remember why, but I love seeing Britt interact with her friends!
Thursday night banquet...always emotional. My YCL's get their camp names, then sing Walk Tall and then pass the torch to the incoming YCL girls...I cry every year!!! What an awesome tradition!
One of the privileges of being a YCL is you get to go NIGHT RAPPELLING...we were up until about 1am. This is a fun bunch of girls and I will miss working with them every month! Thank goodness for Facebook!!!

It's so fun to see what camp was like for you. How were we at the SAME camp and had such DIFFERENT experiences?! Fun all around though.
