Girl's Camp 2013

I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (yep, I'm a Mormon) and currently I work with the young women age 12-18.  They are loads of fun!  Every summer the girls participate in a Young Women Girl's Camp, typically with a fairly large group of girls.  This summer we were in charge of having girl's camp on a ward level - which means versus a 100 girls we had 13 girls. 

Smaller Group + One Great Fundraiser = Lots of Possibilities

First we chose the place, then we picked a theme.

Our theme this year was....

Lolly Jane

We took it from a talk given by Pres. Thomas S. Monson,


Once we found a theme - the ideas were seemingly endless.
We wanted the girls to understand that instead of being overwhelmed with all that life is and can be, 
to set small goals that would bring them closer to one another, 
closer to their families, and closer to their Heavenly Father.

We created a Daily Goal board - these became our daily theme:

Friendship
Service
Humor
Gratitude
