Girls Camp

I had the privilege of being able to be Girls Camp Director again this year - it is my absolute favorite calling in church! This was Kaitlyns first year and I really enjoyed being there with her - we had so much fun! The camp was in Conroe - it was a Girls Scout Camp and was beautiful - Rachel had the opportunity to hang out with the older girls and really was able to make some new friends. Our stake had some really great ideas that made camp even better than I have even seen. First - they had the 1st thru 3rd year girls sleep as a ward the 4th, 5th, and 6th year girls all slept with girls in their year groups. Then one night they had the Singing Tree which was where every ward choose a song and then sat as a ward in groups - each ward took a turn and turned on their flashlights, stood up and sang their song - it was really awesome! The last night was Bishop night - each ward had their Bishop come up to camp and we found a quiet place to sit and have Family Home Evening with the Bishop being in charge. After the lesson the girls were given the opportunity to bare their testimony - we had a total of 13 girls so it was sweet and personal, not too long and just perfect. We had a great week!
