Well we survived Girls Camp! We spent 5 lovely days at Camp LoMia. The weather was perfect - cool in the early morning and evenings but in the 60s 70s during the day. Carl was the Priesthood leader for the week and I was the 1st year certification leader. We sure had a great time with the girls. I felt much more comfortable this year. Last year I was brand new and only had a few weeks to prepare. This year I had some great ideas and our certification activities really went well. My co-leader, Tracy Moore, and I came up with some neat ideas to tie our activities to our theme "Straight and Narrow is the Way". We were working off of a theme of Broadway Plays for our activities. I made copies of several playbills and laminated them. We strung them up around our ramada with some stars. We made a red carpet runway for our YCLs to stand on while they taught their portion of certification. I made tickets in different colors that I laminated and gave to the girls for each area that we covered - First Aid, Fire Safety, Food Safety and Knot Tying. They attached them to their lanyards. My neice, Grace, sprained her toe while doing a back bend for her ward's lip sync activity and Carl went with her to the hospital the first night we were there. She was on crutches and a boot all of the rest of camp. She is good now. Carl also rescued a 2nd year girl on their hike. She fell down an enbankment about 10 feet and sprained her ankle. He ended up carrying her part of the way back from the hike. She did that the next to last day and ended up going home with a badly sprained ankle. At least this year we didn't have the stomach flu run rampant throughout camp. I think it was a very successful camp. Now I can start my summer vacation. WooHoo!
