Girls Camp, Rucker Lake 2012


My job- Camp Nurse (with Nancy)

The Activities...hiking, canoeing, quilting...and there was archery and crafts

The Girls--Mae was a Youth Camp Leader for the 1st years
Also, we made the flag banners pictured above Mae--with 100 little flags!

Mae and Mom
How fun to be there with Mae!

Scenes from Camp
Campfire, life jackets, mugs, lantern-lights backdrop, quilts and Mae's lanyard

Art from camp
Theme was "Tangled" with focus on Light
Camp was amazing, awesome, hard, long and fun. Mae and I both had our challenges. Mine involved sick/injured girls in the middle of the night (gastroenteritis, major 2nd degree burns on feet, 2 girls dehydrated/heat stroke, many scrapes, allergies, regular meds to give and a lot of TLC). Mae's involved first year girls (silly, silly!) and stepping out of her comfort zone (see above skit photo!). I loved singing to the groups of girls at night with all the leaders. Mae liked quiet activity time and earning beads for her lanyard (why else would she swim out to the rock?!). We would both like to come back, though it's not our ward/stake any longer--but we are still invited!! (see Move to AZ post to come). A great experience for us, for sure!
