GIRLS CAMP 2009!!!!!!!

One of my highlights of summer is Girls Camp. which happened to be last week!!! it was so much fun!!!! our stake theme this year was BELIEVE, and our ward themem was safari sistas( i was a cheetah!). it was an amazing week! Caytees stomache was hurting one of the days and its amazing how much she trusts me, she wont eat clay for her mom but she ate it when i told her to, and i made her feel better.

on monday we left at 7:30 and arrived at like 9:00 we unpacked then ran down to the first devotional. then we made a craft (a braclet we tied kinda like hemp) after that we split in to levels and because i am a level 3 i did the boats on the lake. i had emilee and whitney in my canoe and we had no idea what we were doing. then we got in trouble for splashing, but we didnt tip thank goodnes, although my friend elisa did haha! after the boats we did certification which is probably the only boring part of girls camp, so i was glad it was on the first day and we got it over with. then we had dinner and hung out at camp the rest of the time, during that time we did whip cream shots where you put whip cream on your had and flick it trying to get it into your mouth, it ended up really messy and we all ended up taking a shower on the first day. Lights out is supposed to be at 11 every night but i am sure the earliest we went to bed on anyof the nights was 1 am. Mostly thanks to lindsay and her craziness! at one point the flashlight light became her grandmother and grandma was the cause of all the noise! haha it was so fun.

Tuesday morning had breakfast at 7:15 and because sis edge. didnt get any sleep during the night she went home and slept after breakfast was over. after breakfast and the morning devotional, the level 3 got to go do the callenge course, it was way fun, i had a really funny group and had a blast. then we went back to camp for lunch and went back for 3rd year compass orienteering. that was way fun we had a couple fire fighters come and teach us aabout compasses and GPS then we got to use the hose on the enigine it was awesome. then we had cleaning assignments and dinner, then when it got dark we had signing in the trees and that brings the spirit so strong, we alll stand in the trees with our flashlights and sing songs about christ of believing and stuff it brings an amazing spirit.

Wednesday the week is half over this is the day with skit night so we had a lot of free time to work on our skit, which if i do say so our wards skit turned out amazing!!!!! then we played games and did crafts during lunch time and stuff we played volleyball and made necklaces, after that president case gave us an amazing fireside and devotional about satan and the powers he uses against you. then we had skits and flag ceremony. our skit was about a lying lizard that ruined "female animal camp" for all the other animals. we used animals because our ward theme was safari sistas. so we all painted our faces like cheetahs, zebras, and tigers, depending on what cabin we were in,i was a cheetah!!!

Thursday was the last real day and it is one of my favorites after breakfast and flag ceremony we all went down to the pavillion and they had first aid training, they had all the youth leaders put fake blood and nastiness all over them to make it look like certain injuries, EXAMPLE: broken bone sticking out of leg, snake bit, gun shot, etc. it was way cool and its a good way to realize how easy things like that happen after that we had lunch then did an amazing race, we had to run to a bunch of diferent stations and do various tasks in order to win beads and the team with the most beads after an hour and a half wins, my team was karlie, shelby, abby, rachael, emilee, shelby s, lindsay and me. we didnt win 1st but we won 2nd!!!! it was awesome then we had dinner and had the rest of the night for ward devotionals and testimony meeting.

Friday was the last day and we spent it cleaning out cabins top to botton and loading everything on the trailer.

I had an amazing time at girls camp as i always do and i cant wait until next summer when i get to go again.
