I had the fun opportunity to go to girls camp with my Young Women this June. We went to Camp Batel up near Laramie, WY and we had such a good time. We got to shoot bows and arrows, throw tomahawks, canoe, shoot guns, and eat yummy food. We had a fairy tale theme and our ward was “Camp Lumiere” from Beauty and the Beast. We had a fun skit night, and fun ward party luau, complete with dutch oven pineapple upside down cake. The girls loved bishop’s night where the bishopric all came up and brought us brownies and ice cream. We then enjoyed a beautiful testimony meeting around the campfire. It was fun to get to spend all that time with the girls, and also with my good friend, Amy Braiser, who was our amazing camp director. The only thing that was not awesome was the mosquitoes. They were just awful! There were so many, and they were so relentless, that by Friday night I felt like I was going a little bit crazy. One of our YW counted over 150 bites on her body! But, one wise leader likened the mosquitoes to Satan, and how he tries to distract us from the important things in life, just like the mosquitoes were distracting us from the fun and the beauty all around us at camp. We survived the mosquitoes and lived to tell the tale. After camp we made cute little camp scrapbooks, so these pictures are from the scrapbooks we made.
