Girls Camp---Monday and Tuesday

I love girls camp and this year was no exception.  I love Heber Valley. It is a perfect place for girls camp.  It is beautiful and you can't help, but smile.  Our theme for girls camp was, "Seek His Light and Shine."   We met at 7:45 to head to girls camp  Monday morning.  We had a total of 18 girls in attendance. 

 I was in charge of the cards and all the supplies for it.  Here are the supplies that we used.    The girls made the  cutest cards for one another.  

 Our cabin.  I was in the cabin with the Beehives and Laurels.  It was fun to get to know the Laurels better.   Our cabin  was known as the boring  one because we all turned the light out at night and went to bed.  The Mia Maid camp was where all the parties happened at night.  It was so loud there we could hear them perfectly each night with the windows shut in ours.   After spending a few minutes late one evening in the Mia Maid cabin I was really happy I was in the "quieter" camp. 

 We each made a beacon of light/lantern that we lighted with an electric candle (no fires or matches allowed) and also where we could put any mail we received.  Later that night we had super heavy winds that  broke several bottles of nail polish and happened to break my beacon of light.  Several girls hurried and made me a new lantern without me even knowing.  Everyone was so kind to everyone.

 We also decorated water bottles. This was one of the coolest water bottles I had ever seen.  Later that night the YCL's did a FHE on Self Worth/Esteem.  I loved how open and honest Thabata and Nickee were about their feelings.  They did a fantastic job!!!

On Tuesday we went boating.  We did a small hike to the lake and then the girls got on canoes and the leaders were on paddle boats.  It was so fun and beautiful there.  I forgot my camera.

 Here is a picture I copied  off the Heber Valley web page.   We had lunch at the lake. It was such a beautiful day.  That afternoon we made crafts.  I have never done such fun crafts as I did there.   We made a pictures of the temple and a picture of the prophet.  Julie, who was in charge of camp did  a great job.  She is so talented at everything she does.   That evening we had a lecture about Eliza Snow.  We stayed at the camp site named after her.  Then Julie, put together a beautiful video about having our lamps filled with oil and we discussed what that meant.  Kelly read us a poem she had written about the theme.   Each night the leaders went around to the cabins and gave each girl something she had made and gave a small talk about her interpretation of the theme.  It was really cool and it was fun to see everyone's interpretation of the theme.
