Our fearless camp leaders for Girl's Camp 2009:Karen Olson
Mary Cowley
Carla Jones
This year we had the opportunity of having a very special guest visit our Girl's Camp at West Piney. Sis. Mary Cook, the 1st counselor in the General YW presidency was our guest. Oh, she was so awesome!!! She had the most amazing personality and had the spirit with her continually. She visited each ward camp and taught a couple of YW how to play the Unukalhai. It was amazing! I loved how she was there to be with the girls. She loved visiting with them and asking lots of questions.Pictured above is: Robyn Holmgren, my 1st counselor. Then, Sis. Cook, Pat Madsen, my secretary and then Me.
Here Sis. Cook is at the Skyline Ward camp. Next to her is her 17 year old Granddaughter, Allison and Jess McKay from the Skyline ward.

We had a pirate theme this year.Lay up your treasures in Heaven:
1st day - The gospel of Jesus Christ is our map
2nd day - Every storm makes you a better navigator
3rd day - Anchor yourself in safe waters
4th day - All that glitters is not pure gold
I just loved the value flags.

Camp was so amazing!I loved every minute of it.
Just look at all these girls, they have no clue how much effort and work went into this camp. Hopefully, someday they will all get the opportunity to be a camp leader themselves. I feel so blessed because I get the opportunity to serve in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I thank my Heavenly Father daily for my many blessings!

you are amazing. Those girls are so lucky to have a young women's president who loves them so much. I don't know how you do all that you do, but I admire you so much! Loved the pictures!!
I was so glad I was able to hear about this experience from you today! Thanks for catching up with me, and then walking slow enough that I could breathe and talk! This is awesome. You are a blessing to the YW of your stake!
I found your blog on pinterest as I was looking for ideas for our girl's camp this year. We are also going with a "pirate/treasure seekers" theme. So I would like to incorporate your 4 themes into our daily workshops. I was wondering if you have any more info about what exactly you did with these themes each day? TIA
What a fun camp....would love to know where you got the pirate hats =)
Thanks so much
