We had Young Women's camp at Heber Valley this year and it was a blast! I only stayed half the time and honestly was sad to leave. Our theme was "We are daughters seeking for his treasures." We had an AMAZING camp director who did such a great job of balancing the fun and spiritual aspects of camp. That's awesome Shauna on the right.
This was our craft the second day; I LOVED the fact that the crafts Shauna planned were ones I am excited to display.
Now back to the the first day. Shauna had everyone stain a treasure box to contain all of the little handouts and trinkets they would get throughout the week.
Each of the YCL's (we had 16 of 'em) were in charge of devotionals focusing on the virtues listed in the 13th article of faith and Shauna had cute little handouts to go along with each one. Of course mine only has a couple of them since I wasn't there for the whole thing.
Here we are all at work staining our boxes.
We did our hike Wednesday morning. This here was our priesthood leadership. Are you frightened?
He may look scary, but Kenny is such a goof that we were thoroughly entertained the entire time. He made everyone gather around the lake in silence so we could listen to the frog choir.
Hiking leaders: Karen, Shauna, me, Becky, and Lisa
And hiking girls (this is only about a third of our total girls; we had a fairly decent hike the day before and the majority thought they needed to recover from that. . . whatever)
Just hanging out in the cabin. I swear Kelleen cannot keep a straight face for a picture; cracks me up. We had a great time playing Moods, pass the pigs, doubles, and mafia. I feel so lucky to work with these girls!

Those treasure chests are awesome!!! Is that snow piled up around the camp?
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a blast!!
Those chests are seriously a great idea and it looks like a wonderful girl's camp! Our camp is this week and I hope it goes as well as yours! Thanks for sharing! I might use the Treasure chest idea in the future.
