Girls Camp 2011

S.O.S.

Our 2011 Camp Theme

The Young Women did not know what it stood for.

All through camp we did activities that had to do with

seeking...

Different things We Seek

and how we seek them.

In the end we disclosed what S.O.S stood for

Seek our Savior

Below are a LOT of pictures taken at camp.

The first set are taken at my house before we depart.

 This next group are of our Compass Course

"We Seek Direction"

They received their Lanyards at the end

I did not get a picture of a lanyard

but they were used all through camp.

 A game we played where the girls had to arrange themselves

in different orders while on this plank.

They could not touch the ground

and in one round they could not speak.

If they fell off they started over.

The purpose was to learn teamwork.

 Our "Cup Tree"

We buy everyone a cup and with Vinyl put there names

and the theme on it.

Then we don't have to continually use paper cups.

They are all responsible for their cups.

The girls also like to use the cup tree as a mailbox of sorts

to deliver Secret Sister gifts.

 All the girls shared one big tent.

To avoid severe crowding

we had a little dome tent next to it for their buckets.

 Fruit Pizza...Mmmmm.

 Singing Camp songs from our songbooks

 Leann and Julie

 Because we have such a small group this year

8 girls

we decided to make skits easy.

We gave them each four words about seeking

ie: look, find search etc.

Then they had to rewrite a camp song any way they wanted

as long as they used the four words.

They then performed it.

Both groups did a great job.

 This was a game called "Here's the Ball"

You introduce one ball

toss it around until everyone has had it.

Then get faster until they feel successful...

then add more balls w/out telling them.

You eventually have almost as many balls as girls

all being thrown around the circle at the same time.

A GREAT game for teaching listening skills

and communication.

 Another game about communicating and working together.

All had a message about "seeking" something.

 Certification Bingo

a great way to get certification in that is fun.

Plus you get to eat the skittles when your done.

 Camp Pictionary

Even the Priesthood played.

 Camp Scatergories.

This was so so much fun.

We actually played more times than planned.

 Camp wouldn't be camp without

S'mores.

We had a great time.

The girls impressed me with their sweet testimonies

and how kind they were to each other at all times.

We also did a darling craft and

had some cute handouts.

I will post them later.

Here's to more fun camps.
