Girls Camp 2017

I spent the week before last at girls camp, with 200 young women ages 12-17, and 100 adult leaders.

They are all wonderful girls and I love getting to know them!

I teach a destiny class to six different age levels, one class at a time.

My destiny class this year, was "Be the Light".

This was my class setting that I created, in the woods.

I made all the pom poms, that took a little bit of time :)

I wanted the girls to be fed visually as well as spiritually.

I had the posters printed from this etsy shop.

These are the ladies I have a great time working with :)

Pat, me, Julie and Kate

Each day we chose a costume to wear, and we all dressed alike.

I made the tutus too!

One day, we dressed up like the three little pigs and the big bad wolf.

Well, the wolf wasn't big and bad and we weren't so little! Lol

We even have tails!

Every time I breathed, the nose would make my glasses fog up!

One day we wore beautiful princess quote shirts.

I had them printed at this etsy shop.

The best is the day we dressed as bookworms!!!

(The theme was "My Once Upon a Time")

Pat made these cute costumes!

Notice the antlers and the dark glasses for bookworms?

We slept in a yurt, which was pretty comfortable.

Our camp was in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

It was beautiful and warm in the day, but in the night and first thing in the morning, it was freezing!

These are the ladies I shared a yurt with, they are all amazing!

I wrote a bedtime story about eight little girls in a yurt.

I'm going to give it to them when we meet this week.

I gave them cutesy names and wrote a paragraph about each one of us, pretty funny!

We had someone snap this photo of us just before we left and locked up the camp.

We made enough memories to last a lifetime!

Girls Camp 2016

Well, we survived girl's camp, and had the time of our lives!

This is our Stake Young Women presidency wearing one of our matching outfits.

The camp theme was the Olympics, Light the Fire Within :)

This is where I taught my hour long Destiny class, in the woods.

My class was "My Three white Dresses", the blessing dress, the baptism dress and the temple/wedding dress.
I made the first 2 dresses and the wedding dress is mine :)

There are six levels at camp, one for each year, and I taught each level once.

Kate and Julie taught Destiny classes and Pat taught Personal Progress.

Another one of our outfits and if you didn't guess, our country was the USA!

Here we are with the Stake Camp leaders.

We shared a yurt together and talked and giggled into the night!

These ladies are so much fun!!!

They are the ones who planned and organized the whole camp!

They are very dedicated and hard working :)

The beautiful Craft Ladies :)

Our Stake camp leaders were synchronized swimmers for the day!

Our Youth Camp Leaders, they had so much spirit!

Their countries were Italy and Jamaica.

Our fabulous cooks worked tirelessly around the clock and never ceased to amaze us with their menu that was always made from scratch!

My awesome ward!

I love the young women, they are such bright lights :)

Our wonderful bishop, ward leaders and Young Women ;)

This was the last night of camp, right before our testimony meeting.

If you can't tell, I love being with the Young Women, they are happy, exemplary Young Women!

I'm very thankful that I have the opportunity to work with them :)

Girls Camp

I haven't been able to sew, all my time has been spent preparing for girl's camp!

Our girl's camp is for young women ages 12-17 years old.

There are 180 girls signed up, we go to a beautiful camp in the mountains, and have all our meals prepared for us by lovely chefs :)

Here is my gear layed out, ready to be packed!  Lol

I'm teaching a Destiny class this year, my topic is

"My Three White Dresses".

These are all the visuals for my class!

I teach it in the woods, I hope I'm able to string clothesline around some trees to hang my dresses and quilt :)

That's my wedding dress stuffed in the bin!

It's layers of lace of soft polyester lace and never seems to wrinkle.

The theme of our camp is "Light the Fire Within", the Olympics.

My three friends and I are Team USA.

Each day we'll be wearing matching outfits.

I made tutus for us to wear for one of the days, 36 yards of tulle!

This is just two of them, don't they look pretty on the red chair, with the sunlight streaming through the window?

Wish me well, I hope we don't attract any bears or other critters!
