Girl's Camp 2017

The theme for camp this year was Seize the Day. It was ward camp, so the girls spent the week in the St. George area doing fun things. They stayed in the Close's cabin at Pine Valley and did little day trips around the area.

They stopped by the St. George Temple and got to watch a few of the videos. One of the sister missionaries was from main land china! Very cool to have met her.

 They went and saw Newsies

They got to tour the first church built in Pine Valley. It was built like an "upside down boat"

Lots of games were played and lots of fun was had.

They enjoyed going on the hike and enjoyed sitting afterwards

Silly faces were made

Scavengers were hunted.

Mormon Boy was sang many times

She had a great time with all her friends.

Dinner was great as always

Cynjyn was the winner of the scavenger hunt to find the letters from the parents.

The lake day was very fun (even though they couldn't actually swim)

overall a great trip and she had a great time.

Girls Camp 2016: Legendary!

 Cynjyn was a little leary to go to camp this year as she was the only 4th year going this year.  Most of her good friends were YCL's and they are in a different camp, so she didn't think it was going to be very fun.  The camp theme this year was A League of Their Own and each ward had to pick a team name.  We chose Legends. 

Cynjyn had to make the chore chart and we came up with this cute baseball idea. 

 I wasn't there this year, so I'm not sure what went on.  I just got pictures so I'll post them and kind of let them speak for themselves. Apparently, Sis. Cook brought a hammock and they had some fun on that.

 She actually got to spend a lot of time with the YCL's:  Emma, Danielle, Cynjyn and Maggie

 She found a good buddy in Courtney. She was a first year and Cynjyn absolutely adored her!

 They had some fun with someone's camera too: Courtney

 One of the triplets.  I don't know her name

 A lot of hair braiding and combing was done.

 They had different dress up days at camp.  This was USA day

 Cynjyn braided Courtney's hair a lot!

 Yoga...

They looked pretty cool in their ward shirts and giant foam fingers.

 Arts and Crafts station was where they made a carry bag out of a t-shirt.

 Flagpole antics

 Skit practice.  Cynjyn was in charge of writing the skit this year.  It was based on Sword in the Stone and there was a baseball bat stuck in a scoreboard that only a virtuous woman could remove.  I believe it turned out pretty cute.

 Cynjyn and Emma

 I guess there was a certification challenge and our ward won the whole thing!

 They were very excited about that!

 Repelling is always fun.

 I believe this is coming back from canoeing.

 Bonding

Campfire nights were also great for bonding. 

 Cynjyn tried to get a photo with all the leaders:  Amelia

 Emma and Courtney joined in.

And apparently there was crazy hair day and since Brother Hill has no hair, Cynjyn colored his head.

 Very cool!

She did end up having a great time (I knew she would, she always does), the only bad thing was I guess it was super hot up there which is better that rain which is usually pretty common for June.
