Girls camp was a huge success! I was a little nervous going into it because I knew having 19 girls at camp, with little or no sleep, could get a little overwhelming and that we could have a lot of girl drama...but instead they were all little angels and we had a blast! I prayed the morning we left for a few of the girls specifically and I saw my prayers answered. It was VERY hot and there were tons of bugs biting us like crazy, but our prayers were answered to that problem in a way we didn't anticipate...there were tons of FROGS that came to the pavilion! They were jumping all over the girls and making them scream, but at least we didn't have the bugs that night :) We had a blast going down the tarp made water slide, we got to go on canoes, and we had a wonderful early morning hike. We had to get up that morning at 4:30 am after going to bed at 2:00 am the previous night. I finally had to use my "relaxation technique" to get them to sleep...the girls later said I hypnotized them :) My camp name at the end of camp was the mesmerizer. We had tons of fun and made a lot of fun memories!
It was so fun to pull up in the driveway and see my little welcome poster the kids made...when I was a teenager my cute mom would make a welcome home poster for me when I got home so it was just like old times! :)
The camp theme was a superhero them and so we made each of the girls capes to wear. Our value was virtue and so our color was gold.

Cute super hero shirts/capes. And the flag turned out darling. And what is this fancy necklaces at girls camp? AMY!!!!!!!!!!! Such cute ideas!!! I have to say that I am glad you went and not me though. Looks like a blast, but I know how much work goes into girls camp. I'm glad it was fun!
Looks like fun! I used to love YW camp every summer. But what did I see in the background of one picture...it looked like a room (not a tent) with bunk beds and a mattress (not an air mattress with a sleeping bag)...wow, girls camp sure got FANCY since my day!
Such fun! I just love the added value of virtue! And the color gold is perfect! Sister Dalton is so inspired in her calling. Glad you had such a great time and that Grandma Gillespie could tend the kids.
Love you!
what's a "relaxation technique" ?
