This year I got to go to Girls Camp or "Mormon Camp" as it is affectionately called by our friends who are not Mormon. We camped at a privately owned Baptist Camp with an amazing private beach.
This is our amazing District Young Women and a few friends. Our District theme was
"Anchored in Faith".
I couldn't help but include a few pictures of the beach. We had it all to ourselves and only wish we had more time in the water.
The wild flowers that grew around camp were astoundingly beautiful.
Next I have to mention our fearless leaders.
Our Branch President bravely came for a visit where he was immediately adorned with the traditional Sasedena war paint of lipstick and eyeliner on the cheeks.
After enduring the war paint our Branch President allowed himself to be clothed in a hula outfit made of toilet paper. What a good sport.
Out District leaders, better known as Las Angles De La Muerte.They proved themselves a force to be reckoned with when it came to pranks.
Our District leaders also proved themselves to be quite fabulous in their acting abilities as they performed their skit.
I at one point found myself in a hostage situation over a confiscated cell phone.

The nightly campfire
Yes our Young Women are so amazing that they kept up on their homework and music practice during their free time at camp.
The palm trees at camp were all decorated when got there.
Teamwork got our cabin decorated.

I walked into my girls' cabin one night to find them fighting off a rival cabin with mops and brooms. I'm still not sure what the mighty battle was about.
Our theme for Sasedena was "Come unto the lighthouse of the Lord". Our room was decorated accordingly.
Our girls hung a banner with their theme and their testimonies on it. It was really very cool. I was quite proud to claim these young women and call them our Sasedena family.
The flame of our light house lamp was the YW torch. I'm thankful for the YW I get to serve and that I get to see each one of them shine. What a blessing camp was for all of us.
Looks like you had a fantastic time!!
ReplyDeleteOur camp doesn't have electricity. We have a-frame wood cabins. Shorts aren't allowed and the girls can't play in the water though they can canoe around the lake.
Not looking forward to camp this year.. the lack of communication is going to get the better of me!
