Girls Camp 2017

Once again I was privileged to join the YW at Girls camp.  This year was just ward camp and we opted for renting a cabin at Bear Lake. BIG Thanks to my awesome hubby and amazing neighbor Laura who are always willing to take care of the kids!

The first day we headed straight to bear lake where we swam for a couple of hours - the weather wasn't that great, in fact at one point we had to run for cover from the rain.  But as soon as we got to the cabin the girls warmed up in the hot tub!

 I didn't take half enough pictures - but we enjoyed lots of bonding time over meals, devotionals, guest speakers, service projects and games!

They also had a blast in the pool - we made two different trips to swim in the pool!

They all looked so cute in their Happy Camper sweaters I made for them!

We had such a great time touring minnetonka cave - we joined another group of girls campers on the tour and the guide put a special spiritual twist on the tour for us, it was extra special!  I also loved having LeGrand come for a night and hang out with us as the priesthood leader.

 The view from our porch was awesome!

 We always end our days with a testimony meeting that never fails to bring the best spirit and allows the girls to share raw heartfelt testimonies that uplift us all!

 It's so much work and such a sacrifice to make girls camp happen but I always finish the week feeling so grateful for the opportunity to build relationships with the girls and have the chance to grow spiritually together
