Official Girls Camp post

Being the Young Women's President at our church allows me the awesome opportunity to work with all the 12-18 year olds in my area. I love it!! Camp this year was my favorite year so far. Mia Shalom is beautiful and though the weather after the first day was less than desirable, we had an great time. Our theme was "Standards are timeless." We were assigned the standard of "friends" and the time period of Greeks and Romans. The girls made laurel wreath headbands and we wore togas to the group activities.








I came up with the idea to make buttons (NOT an easy task I tell you) for all the girls to earn when they'd do certain tasks. All were fun and light hearted and really helped bring the girls together and had us laughing the whole time. Most of the crazy pictures below are from button earning sessions.

At the lake.



Coloring our shirts made by the talented Elisha.



Eating an ant for a button.



Who said you can't pick your friend's nose! Another button activity.



Service project. All the girls, plus two extras who somehow snuck in there!



This was NOT a button earning event! Don't ask.



Arts and crafts with pens and rubbing alcohol.



Trust falls for a button.



Some of our entertainment. These girls are so talented!




I am SO lucky to get to hang out with these girls! They are amazing and so inspiring. All in all, camp was a success: fun, CRAZY, spiritual and uplifting.
