Home Camping Church Cold Jason Natalie Girls Camp

Girls Camp

25 July 2013

I love my calling in the Young Women program for our church. I love working with our amazing girls and getting to know them. I also work with some of the best ladies I have ever known and I am constantly learning from them. I couldn't ask for a better group! 
This year for camp we went to the Big Springs Campground outside of Lava Hot Springs. My mom was wonderful and stayed with my naughty kids so that I could go be a part of camp. Thank you, Mom! Although camp was a ton of fun, it was also FREEZING cold!! Jason came up for the day on Wednesday to help and to cover Priesthood duties, and even though I told him it was cold and asked him to bring me more warm clothes and blankets, he didn't realize how cold I was talking until he got there. I think he was a little worried about leaving me there knowing I was freezing!! We made it through and survived. :) We ended up taking the girls to the hotsprings instead of floating down the river like we originally planned since everyone needed a little warming up. It also gave us a chance to shower!!

One of the awesome crafts the girls did while they were there for the week. 
All of the leaders on the morning of the hike
The leaders and most of the girls - some of them were still getting ready in their tents
On the hike - don't we look lovely?
The hike was really pretty - but it was a lot of climbing up hills and I was pretty tired by the time we were done. 7 miles going uphill/downhill/uphill/downhill does amazing things for your calves. :)
I love going to camp. There is something about being in the middle of nature that allows the Spirit to touch your heart in a way that is hard to duplicate. I always leave camp feeling overwhelmed with the desire to be better and with an increased testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so grateful to belong to this wonderful Church and to have a knowledge of my Savior. I hope we were able to strengthen the testimonies of the girls that week as well.
