I had the opportuntity to attend girls camp for just a day - on Tuesday - the second day that they were there. Camp sure is extremely different than from when I went! However, other things never change which is great too. So our theme for the year was YAGOTTAWANNA - F.O.W.Y.A. (YA GOT TA WANNA FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE). It was kind of an indian like feel and theme. The girl who made the banner did an amazing job so I had to take a picture of it.
It was awesome because before camp, we made these really awesome drums that sound so cool - especially when everyone is drumming.
This is one of the parts that has drastically changed. If I had stayed at camp with the girls overnight, this is where the leaders slept. In these nice trailers! Yep, a girl could use to that!
Another part that has changed, we were only allowed to ever where long pants, no open toed shoes, etc. Every single minute of our time it seems like we were doing "certification". We had a little free time, but not like these girls. I was there on Tuesday and after the morning devotional and study time, everyone got changed and headed to the lake. Before the leaders got there, the girls had hopped in the canoes and they were off. It was an extremely windy day and long story short, the two priesthood holders were there had to get in canoes and go rescue the girls who had drifted too far from the lake. There was a lot of time that was spent jousting and just lounging. The entire day was free time. I got to spend my time writing little cards to the girls, doing some crafts and just enjoying their company.
As a side note, I took one of the first groups of girls back to camp and as we were walking, there was a snake in the middle of the road that slithered really close to me. YUCK! Another side note, it was so windy, I did spray sunscreen on, but because of the wind, I don't think I got any on me. I was redder than a really ripe tomoato! I am still peeling.
Anyway, over all, it was a fun day and glad I had the time to spend with the girls. All total we had one sprained ankle and one broken leg, but other than that - a very fun and successful camp.

Yep, defintely different than me. Maybe because you were so sunburned the snake throught you were a real life tomato and he just wanted something to eat?
