This was my second year being involved as a camp director. I love this calling!! This year was stake camp, over 100 girls, compared to last years was ward camp, about 25 girls. I think I prefer ward camp, just because we have the opportunity to plan the entire camp, making it more flexible.
Monday and Tuesday were perfect... Good weather, fun activities, and wonderful speakers. By Wednesday the lightening, thunder, and rain started and never stopped till we got home Thursday late morning. YUCK! Tons of mud, wet tents sleeping bags, and BAD HAIR!!
The high light of Wednesday, for me, was when we joined with the West Lake Ward (picture above) for songs and games! A LITTLE HISTORY... We used to be in the Midland Ward, but last October "they" divided the ward in two and the eliminated the Midland Ward :( It was a difficult time. Half went to the Country Lane Ward and the other half went to the West Lake Ward. So it was wonderful for the girls AND the leaders to be back together at camp. We had SO much fun!!

By Wednesday night I think we were ALL ready to go home. All of us had to huddle under a large blue trap, with water streaming down the sides, for a very wet testimony meeting. It was the shortest testimony meeting I have ever been to. The girls endured another wet, cold night and then we started packing at 6:30 am and made it home by 10:00am! That's the fastest I have seen those girls move :) We have been home for a few weeks now, and I am already in camp planning mode for next year - I can't seem to turn it off!! I am so excited for ward camp next year, we are going to have a great time - NO 7am Devotional!!
