Back from Girl's Camp
Well, I'm back from Girl's camp, and I thought I'd share a few thoughts here about the event. First, it turned out really great, and we even had a few girls attend who we never see at other activities or meetings. The girls also had a good time, learned a few skills, and some of them, I believe, gained a greater recognition of their testimonies. These were results the camp directors and I had worked for, but there was one good by-product we hadn't expected due to the fact we stayed in a lodge rather than in tents. When I was a teen, there were times our ward had the opportunity to stay in a cabin together, but this experience was our girls' first time. In fact, some of them complained, at first, because it was too easy and not really camping. However, because we stayed together, sleeping on the same floor, the girls grew closer as a group and developed stronger associations with girls they'd previously had little interaction with. A happy surprise.
