It's like when you tell your kids, "don't get dirty." All they can think about is dirty, dirty, dirty. When what you should really say is, "Stay clean."
But clean is what I did, with the house that is. It was a mess. We had just moved. And there was still boxes everywhere with stuff in them that didn't seem to belong anywhere. And meanwhile I tried not to worry.
The evening came and the high counselor arrived. The house was decently clean at least in the front room. After a bit of small talk, he said, "Well, I'm sure you're wondering what I'm doing here?" Of course I was, so I said, "Yes, please solve the mystery for me."
We would like to call you to be Stake Girls Camp Director.
So, due to this new adventure, I would like to ask y'all a few questions about girls camp.
1. What made girls camp most memorable for you?
2. What was your favorite part?
3. What things did you like that you would want repeated?
4. What things didn't you like?
5. What was your most favorite year?
6. What theme would you choose?
7. What foods did you like to have?
8. What activities did you like?
Any experiences you want to share?
Since I have this call 11 months in advance from when actually camp starts, I feel there is no time like the present to go ahead and begin the brain storming process. I think once the theme is established, then the other ideas and activities will flow from there. I am by no means an expert, so feel free to share any and all ideas. Thanks in advance.
The Great outdoors adds to the wonder of camp
You will be fabulous! Esther is fresh from camp. I'm sure she will be able to give you good feedback. I liked the new policy they had this year about flip flops and such in camp. Usually it's been not allowed unless you're on your way to swim. This year the leaders let the girls govern themselves about their footwear. If the leaders have confidence in the young women's abilities there doesn't have to be as many regulations. I think some type of service project is a good idea. And then there's certification. I don't think they did much certification at the actual camp, but did it in advance. There are pros and cons both ways. Of course one of the highlights is a testimony meeting. This year our stake left it to the individual wards to have their own devotional/discussion/ testimony mtg. with their bishops. Anyway, lots to think about. good for you to have 11 months.
