I was reading a blog where the writer had put down things that she loved each day. And the first thing I thought of were things that I missed and I missed: Girls Camp.
When I get older, I would love to have a calling to go and work with the Young Women at Girls Camp. I loved every bit of it. The songs, lessons, morning devotionals, fires, staying up late in tents and cabins talking and singing, making up dances, not wearing makeup, treking through dirt and grass...
I remember my first year of camp. Our Camp Director had let us tie dye pillowcases and shirts and socks, whatever we wanted before camp. We went to Camp Jackson and I was in the tent with Kellee, and that's all I remember. It rained... and our tent roof collapsed so we had to move into different tents. I roomed with Victoria who was in my cousin Jonathan's ward at the time. It's crazy to think that's really how we became friends!! Camp was so good though. So good. And I have loved it ever since. I'm sad I don't get to go anymore-- sometimes growing up stinks.
