This was my 15th YW's camp.... I'm so grateful to have been able to share 5 of them with Ada and Evelyn's first one with her. I was just released from YW's so I won't be going next year. I have mixed feelings about it. I like being with my girls. I like baring my testimony to the youth. I've also been in there for the last 6 years and it might be nice for a change. They've called me as the Primary singing leader.
Camp this year was crazy. We were supposed to go to Camp Mia Shalom again with our stake. Because of how much snow we had this winter, some of the pavilions and cabins had collapsed and they canceled our stay. The we found a place down south near Lake Yuba and that ended up not being viable.... so we were scheduled to go to Camp Williams... the military base. The problem was that we'd have to bring in our own water. Then 10 days before camp, a family in our ward volunteered their extended family cabin. It was fun and fit us a little tightly. It was Evelyn's first time and she did well. She has a tendency to hang back from the other girls, but I think she learned that she can have fun with them too. Most of the older girls are choosing to not come to camp, so out of the 15 girls Ada's age (ish) there were only about 5 of them there. I think she still had a good time and the week was relatively drama free. Sierra Quibell was our young woman camp director. She did spectacularly. Our theme was Courage/Faith
