This year Girl's Camp was scheduled for the 1st week of August, but our Stake decided to trade weeks and go the 2nd week of June, which is the 1st week that anyone goes to Camp MIA Shalom. We weren't sure if we were able to go, because of the snow not melting soon enough, but we received the go ahead the friday before. Erika was a Stake YCL's this year, so she did everything with them, including sleeping, driving up with them and eating. She left at 6:30 am and the rest of the ward leaders left at 8:00 am. Brian came and helped us unload our trailor and setup the canopy's and camp chef's. It was such a nice warm, sunny day on the day we went up. Erika and I both got sunburned on our faces and arms. The rest of the Young Women rode a greyhound bus and they got to Camp MIA Shalom at 2:00 pm. We had most of the morning to get setup and wait for the Young Women. It was nice and peaceful. We setup our beds and re-arranged some things. The pictures above is the banner that our ward made. Our Theme was Wisdom Warriors - O.W.L.S. Onward We Live Strong. Our value color was green for knowledge. So all of our planning was around knowledge and green. Each ward had to make a banner and pick a scripture and then present it at our flag ceremony time. Our ward had 4 leaders and 9 young women, not including Erika and her friend Heather, who were with the Stake.
