This year Tracey, Claire, and I all went to Girls Camp. The camp theme was Courage and Strength. It was Claire's first year. It was a great experience and I'm glad Tracey and Claire got to go together. I was only able to stay the first two days. (Thanks Mark and Kay for having Lily, Sophie, and Brody!) I learned a few things about girls camp: The first thing is that they sing, A LOT! Secondly they eat well. Thirdly they know how to invite the Spirit. Oh yeah, sprinkle a little drama in here and there. The girls slept in Yurts (see below), which are small cabin like structures and the priesthood slept in tents around the perimeter of camp. As I call it, we were bear bait since bears had been sighted in camp a couple of weeks earlier. It is a beautiful spot up in the Sierras just off highway 89. Here are some pictures--enjoy:
