Youth Camp

In the Spring I got called as Camp Director and I heard Ali chuckle as she sustained me, because she knows camping isn't my thing. But my thing IS going to beautiful places and having fun outside with people I love, so Young Women's camp wasn't all bad. For instance, I got to enjoy these lovely views for four days!

And I got to enjoy being with these sweet girls (especially the cute blond one in the middle).

Ali asked me to take a picture of her and her friends jumping off the pier.

We had such a fun glow dance party one night.

The Stake tried something different this year that was a bit logistically complicated but made it so families only had to set aside one week for Youth Camps and Youth Conference: All the girls went up to camp on Monday, and on Wednesday the younger girls went home and the older boys arrived, on Thursday the older girls went home and the younger boys arrived, and on Saturday all the boys went home. Whew! It also meant that I got to spend some time with Logan at camp and see Eli before I went home. Jason also went up Friday-Saturday to help out with the boys, so it was a busy week for our family.

I loved having some of my friends with me at camp too (one even told me I was the reason she volunteered to come!).

We had a pontoon boat for the evening that just the older kids were there and I got to go out with Logan and some of his friends. 

I was glad my first year as camp director was a stake-run camp! I just got to go and enjoy myself and my kids.
