Girls Camp

So now after about a month and a half you finally get to learn about girls camp. It was really fun. This year's theme was Sky-High Academy: Superheroes-In-Training. This was my second year at camp. Our Camp goes to Camp Lehi(one owned by our church). It's 45 min. to an hour away from where I live.

Anyway, so on Monday I met at my church building with all the other Young Women in my ward that were going. WE arrived at Camp around 10ish. My years leader was Sister Terilyn Karren. She is in the Saratoga ward. She is SO AWESOME. If I haven't mentioned it, my Girls Camp si really small compared to most. 30-40 girls. My year had 5. I know. Crazy. But we are all good friends and have tons of fun together. The Girls in my group(excluding me) were, Maddie Johnson, Makenzie Larson, Meagan Benensohn and Elaine Hulme. My year's name was THE POWERPUFF GIRLS (each year is given a name which goes with the camp theme).

Another thing about Camp is that the 5th years are called JC's. JC stands for Junior Counscellor. One or two of them are assigned to each of the years below them. They teach devotionals, certification and first aid. They stick with their year, do their hike w/them and so forth. But they do have their own dinner table. Some things they do by themselves. So my JC's were Alyssa Orton and Natasha Dalton. They were awesome!

I had a really fun camp. Here are some of the of the things we did:

-Hike
-Fashion Show
-Dinner Cookout
-First Aid
-Certification
-Secret Sister
-Drums Alive
-Bebe guns
-Archery
-Paintball
-Game Night
-Talent Show
-Crafts

Plus Tons of other fun stuff...........................................that I don't have time to talk about. Pictures coming soon!!!!

More Books

Hi! Sorry, I haven't posted anything lately. I am working on a few posts right now. But anyway, here are some of the books I've recently read(more like a month ago).

Chords of Strength
This was an auto-biography by David Archuleta about his experience through his music career. It was really good. I never knew much about him, except that he was an American Idol star, LDS, and that his music was really good. I thought it was really interesting. His family is really musical. Goes way back in his family. One of his sisters is even named Jazzy. Well, I thought it was really good book.

The Last Hunt...
was the last book in a series I have been reading. It's called 'The Unicorn Chronicles' (by Bruce Coville). It is a good fantasy series. I LOVED the 4th because it was HUGE. 600 + pages!!! Yeah. Only one major point bothered me. I didn't like how....................I can't tell you (such a disappointment, I know).

The Hourglass Door
by Lisa Mangum
This was an okay book. A bit weird. But it was an interesting and creative story. Not much to say here.

The Mother-Daughter Book Club by Heather Vogel Frederick
This is a really good series! There are 3 books so far, the 4th comes in February. It's about these girls and their moms who start a book club. And they read a book every school year. I thought it was great. The 3 books are:
1-The Mother Daughter book Club
2-Much Ado About Anne
3-Dear Pen Pal
#4(Pies & Prejudice) is coming in September.
I really have enjoyed it. I think any girls would like it. It's a really fun series.

Chickens in the Headlights
This was a very funny book about a Mormon family w/7 boys. It was written by the second oldest boy, Matthew Buckley. I really enjoyed this book! It was hilarious and entertaining.

Those are some of the books I have enjoyed. I think you will too.
