June 2024- First half

After school was out, I had to finish planning our ward girls’ camp.

But I did fit in time for walks and runs with the captain.

And I made a dress out of this fabric that I bought 9 years ago. so fun. This is the Laundry Day Tee pattern from Love Notions

Planning camp wasn’t a huge amount of work, because we kept it very simple. But I did need to finalize the food plans, gather candles for unity circle, craft supplies for just in case, and create some little songbook/camp journals for the girls to write in after devotional in the evening.

We camped in Durango, Colorado, at a very nice camp ground with a pool. The girls did a lot of swimming, because the weather was far hotter than we anticipated for such a high altitude as Durango and it being early June. The pool was a definite win.

For our big adventure, we went on a trail ride and also took a short walk along the Animas River.

With only four girls, it felt more like family camping than a church camp.

But they loved singing all the silly camp songs, and generally had a good time. I think they built their friendships and they felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. That was our goal. Win.

The girls’ only requested change for next year was that we put Ramen noodles on the menu. haha.
