Girls Camp

     On July 17th was the day of girls camp. My cousin from Viet nam Aleah was coming and so was my mom and Brooke. We all drove up to Willow Flats, and then had lunch. They called out who was in who's tent. I think in my opinion I got the best tent mates.

• Brooke- my sister
• Aleah- my cousin
• Vanessa- my best friend and neighbor
• Kalli- my friend from school

     We set up our tent and put all our things in it. Our theme for this girls camp is "Go For The Gold." The leaders did the opening ceremony, then they said the rules. Because our theme is the Olympics each tent had to make a flag together to represent their team. Our team name was the Gold-i-Locks, it stood for Locked on the Gold. After we made our flags we made lanterns. To make them we got a glass jar and spray painted it white, then we put wire around it so you could hold it. Then if you wanted to you could put ribbons on the edges of the wire. Next we had the Olympic trials. First we did a scavenger hunt with teams. One of the things it said was "Find something that is a treasure to you." Our team ran to the bathrooms, someone was in the girls so we went to the boys and grabbed toilet paper for our treasure. Then we had to see who could kick their shoe the farthest. Next we had the javelin throw with straws. Then we had to hop one footed throw hula-hoops that were in the shape of the Olympic rings. We had some treats then went to bed. Vanessa was so hyper that night but it was a good thing because then no one could prank our tent because she scared them away. In the morning our tent was the only one that still had our flag up. We had hot chocolate and french toast for breakfast. For our girls camp shirts we tie died them. I did mine the palm tree way. Then we made trail mix for the hike, with pretzels, m and m's, raisins, peanuts, and cheerios. We went on the hike up to this fresh water spring. the water tasted so good and we were all so hot that we dunked our heads in and started drinking. We walked back and the laurels had this rotation activity for us. They did things like facials and this thing that gets dead skin off your hands. Then just to ruin all that the leaders had an obstacle course planned for us. First someone had to grab a balloon fill it up partly with water then hold it over the fire to pop. Then someone had to put 4 marshmallows in their mouth and say the young women values. Then someone had to dump whipped cream on someone's face and everybody had to through coco puffs on their face. Then someone had to lay down, and put a ice cream cone in their mouth. Next someone had to dump ice cream then chocolate then a cherry in the cone. My tent team won and we got gold medals. Once it got dark we had testimony meeting. Some girls that you would never think to cry did when they said their testimonies. Mine was my first testimony that was not little kiddish, and before I did mine I went over it over, and over in my head, but when I stood up it didn't come out like how I planned. After everyone was done we went snipe hunting. Then we went to bed. In the morning we ate breakfast then picked up camp. Once everything was done we drove back. Girls camp really changed me, It was so much fun and I loved it so much.
