Girls Camp-BOOT CAMP (Build Our Own Testimonies)
A few of us Before Camp
Camp was 1 1/2 hrs. away at Quiver River, MO . Yes, we had cabins with electricity and a mess hall with cooks and showers but we still roughed it. We had to deal with ticks and. . .nothing else. It was a perfect week! The food was fabulous especially since I didn't have to shop, cook or clean-up. The weather was gorgeous-hot but not too hot. But if it got hot we'd just park ourself in front of a fan or under a tree. The girls were fun and responsible and I didn't have to worry about any of them. When it was time for them to clean the latrine I didn't even have to remind them. We hiked 6 miles, we swam in the lake nearby, sang lots of camp songs (ones I remembered from when I was in YW), made bracelets and played Big Booty. I won of course. When Friday morning came I really wasn't ready to leave my paradise. Can't wait until next year.
The Stake divided the wards into ARMY, NAVY, MARINES and AIR FORCE. We were in Army with 2 other wards.
Cabins had bunkbeds that slept 8. I loved sleeping with the windows open at night.

Sporting the camouflage look. Don't you think I could pass as a young woman?
The Stake cooked lunch and dinner. The sister wards cooked breakfast at their campsite. This is Kelsey with a delicious Egg, Sausage McMuffin.
Leaders-We didn't speak, hear or see no evil-that doesn't mean we didn't do . . .
I tried to be a good example but then got called out for wearing flip flops to dinner. Oops. 4 of us had to go back and change into our tennis shoes. 
My Girls! Aren't they lovely? I just love them!

I bet you will be/are the best YW pres. ever, it totally suits you!! So FUN! I never went to girls camp. Maybe one day I will get to go as a leader (hopefully not until my own girls are there with me).
