Girls' Camp


Girls' Camp was AMAZING! I had a blast with all of those crazy girls, and though I only got 14 hours of sleep in 3 nights, it was great fun.

All of the devotionals, talks and presentations were so spiritually uplifting. The girls really went away from it with a good boost. So did I.

My report is that I got a few mosquito bites. That's it. That's all. Yes, you read that correctly! I really can't believe it. I didn't see anything disgusting... well except for maybe the shower curtain- icky! I did hear about a scorpion crawling down a girl's arm in another cabin! And some people got nibbled by fish in the lake. On the creepy-crawly scale, it was a nice low 1 or 2. ☺

The last night was a total party. I was tricked into a game of 'Houdini.'
Yes, I knew that I had to escape and that rope was involved, but I didn't realize that I would be tied to a chair with a blindfold on and get a really rad makeover, kitty cat-style. Thanks, Chelsea. ☺ Stephie whispered in my ear to see if I was okay, and to offer her assistance in my escape, and Maddy just walked by and giggled, "Looking good, Mom."

Fun was had by all. ♥

I'm glad you had a good time. It is funny how the lack of sleep doesn't seem so bad--UNTIL YOU GET HOME!

Glad you didn't encounter any SHARKS in the lake.

Would love to hear about this Houdini game ; )

You are totally cool to have been to girls camp. I bet you were a good sport when it came to the Houdini game. What a fun mom!

You are brave. I couldn't go this year because of my husbands work schedule, and while it would have been fun to be with my YW, I am not a camper. So, I wasn't too upset about it!

Oh, you know how much I love Girls' Camp! And those girls! I'm glad it was fun with minimal bugs. After Lisa's experience years ago, I guess everything will look pretty mild...
