Field Trip Friday To Girls Camp

August 2, 2013 By Meegan Leave a Comment

I have a field trip Friday to Girls Camp for you today.  This was a fun and exciting trip to our church Girls Camp this year.  Not what we planned, but perfect for our girls.

We have been planning for months to camp in large tents, cook outside over a fire, sing, dance, laugh, and spend the week with over 200 people.

That changed very fast when the mountain we usually camp on caught on fire and burned for almost 3 weeks.  Very sad! Luckily our campground was saved.  But the smoke and fire was so thick everyone on the mountain was evacuated.  We had to quickly switch gears and plan a week for 32 people, cook all of our own meals inside, plan a hike, and all of our activities for 23 girls.

Our kind friend offered to let us use her cabin in Cedar City, UT.  It was the perfect size for our group.  And so very generous of her and her husband to let us stay there a few nights.  What a blessing.

Here are just a few pictures from our few days in the mountains of Cedar City:

Field Trip Friday to Girls campEach girl made a “mailbox”.  Our theme was “Individual Worth” so each girl made their mailbox into a mirror.  Everyone had a secret sister and gave her small gifts, costing a dollar or less everyday.  It was more about the thought, not the money.

I have so many other pictures of these incredible girls giving service: they cooked, cleaned, washed, dishes, did small acts of kindness, loaded up the cars, unloaded the cars, carried in groceries, taught scripture lessons, and cared for each other.  Since I don’t have permission from their parents, I can’t post any pictures of the girls themselves..

They are amazing girls!  They went with the flow.  They enjoyed each other.  There never was any drama.  We were there to be inspired, to get to know each other better, and to learn.

I love Girls Camp.  It’s one of my fave Summer activities.  That’s my Field Trip Friday To Girls Camp for you today.
