Girl's Camp 2009: The Hero Within


Girls Camp was GREAT this year for my daughter and for many girls throughout the Stake..not to mention the Young Women Leaders. This was Bethany's 5th year of attending camp and each year she has looked forward to it and loved it. Partly because she knew how much Becky loved it and partly because each year that Bethany has gone she has grown in spirit and testimony. She has formed strong bonds with other girls throughout the Stake that help her keep strong and remember to live the Gospel. To be "steadfast, immovable and unwavering." Last night after a week of camp President Gale shared his thoughts with the girls and the parents of how great camp was this week. So great that even Satan could not get his toe in that camp because the love and caring that the girls and leaders shared made it impossible. What a great experience!The young women and leaders of the Hazeldale Ward had an great time.

Wes had the chance to go up on Bishopric night and loved the chance to spend time with the girls and listen to how excited they were to be at camp and the fun they were having. Bethany and Wes
Of course nearly all the girls couldn't wait to ask our wonderful Stake President questions. He loved it!
I am thankful for the great leaders that our Ward has had guide them this past week. They are the BEST!

Grace, I always loved girls camp also. It is such a great thing that the church does for our young women. Did you go up and work? Is Wes in the bishopric? Sounds like a great time and I love the comment about satan not being able to get a toe in the camp, that gave me chills.

It blows my mind that I have a daughter fairly close in age to one of your daughter's. My girl, Sarah, is off this morning doing camp prep for their camp this August, she'll be a second year. Time flies!
