Girl's Camp!

Summer started out with a bang - school let out on Friday and we were heading off to Girl's camp on Monday!  We were sooooooo lucky to go to Heber Valley Camp!  Designed and built specifically for the Young Women, it really is the nicest campground ever!  

We stayed at Camp Esther in 3 yurts - divided between Beehives, Miamaids, and Laurels.  There was about 40 of us which seemed to be just right.  Our theme was "Stand in Holy Places" which goes along with the 2013 YW theme.  Our camp director {who is AMAZING} centered it around an international theme, focusing on different countries each day, implying that it doesn't matter where you are standing...you can make it a holy place by our choices and actions.  We decorated our own sneakers ("stand") which the girls really loved.  Our food and activities revolved around the country of the day.  Monday was Israel, Tuesday was Mexico, Wednesday was Italy, and Thursday was USA. The food was absolutely INCREDIBLE! I'm sure we ate better than we have our entire lives!

The nice thing about Heber Valley Camp is that the main activities are already planned and provided.  Our favorites were the ropes challenge course {including a Zip Line!} and going to the lake. 

In our free time we made crafts, wrote notes, played games, and hung out in the yurts.

My most very favorite thing about camp was being with Millie.

I love that I get to be her leader!  We had an absolute blast!

I could go on and on about camp.  What a spiritual and fun experience!
