Girls Camp - Day 1


We had the official bag drop the night before we left for camp so that we could have everything ready to go. We met at 7:00 am at Sister Haroldsen's house and muffins and juice for breakfast, then we were off to Wallsburg - about 40 minutes up American Fork canyon near the Deer Creek Reservoir.

The cabin and the grounds where we stayed for the week. It's a magical place with space for everything. There is a firepit, spacious grassy areas for solo time, devotionals and volleyball, a basketball court, hot tub and a loft where all the young women could stay together.

Our first morning devotional given by Alaynah and Jayden. It really set the tone for the day.

We received journals for the first day and took time to write in them and to read scriptures daily during our individual solo time.




We had a fun group activity where we were divided into teams and had to suck a Skittle at the end of a straw and take it from one end to another without dropping it. So much harder than it sounds!

Craft time . . . we were lucky to have Brother Clark make us our own hot dog sticks that we were able to custom paint. Then we used the sticks to cook our hot dogs over the fire. So fun!
