It was a little strange going to girl’s camp as a responsible adult. I'm not sure that I actually fulfilled that part of my calling, the responsible part, that is. I felt as if I was just another one of the girls. The leaders joked about how this year at camp there were 14 girls and one leader, and sadly that one leader was a Laurel.
On the last day of camp we modified one of the camp songs to fit our ward a little better. Here is the verse we modified:
The leader down at camp Shalom they say are mighty fine.
They play in Biffy water and act like they are nine.
Oh Gee I wanta go to camp shalom!
I guess we just thought the leaders needed to have some fun too. While the girls were doing their stake certification hike we went hiking too. This was so the leaders that were married could call their husbands. We also made sure to take advantage of the snow on the cliffs. We went sledding down a glacier. I know it is shocking; to hear that scrardey pants Rosie went sledding down a glacier. It’s amazing what a little peer pressure will do for you.
When returned from our hike four hours later we started our scripture study for the day. In the middle of the scripture study a water line burst by our cabin and water was spraying everywhere.
A few minutes later the leaders of the 8th ward were having a mud fight.
Don't worry our girls never left the fire and continued with their scripture study. What can I say we had the most righteous girls at camp. 
We did have a spiritual experience at camp. The stake did a wonderful job with speakers. Each day we had a new speaker and they all did a wonderful job. We had everything from a recently returned solider who spoke on what the flag meant to him to Nephi, who shared with us his feelings about the gospel and what the vision of the tree of life meant to him.
I am so thankful for the opportunity I had to go to girl’s camp. I felt as if I learned more from the girls then I could have ever taught them. They have such strong spirits.
The spirit was so strong at camp and it helped me to strengthen my testimony of the gospel. I am so thankful to be a member of this church and to be able to work in the young women’s organization. This truly is the Lord's Church
P.S. I am waiting for some more pictures from one of the other leaders. So I will post more pictures and videos when I get them.

Sounds like you guys had so much fun! It is weird to go as a leader and not one of the girls. I went for my first time as a leader last year and it was kind of bizarre. Such a great experience though. I'll be going again with our ward at the end of July. I'm totally looking forward to it. Glad you made it through safe and sound. Did you guys get rained on?
Did you just define yourself as "A reasonable adult"???? Surely that was a type-o!!
ummm... I meant "RESPONSIBLE adult" Whatever!!! Responsible or reasonable... is either one an accurate way to describe your "adultness"??
Just kidding Rosie Posie don't cry! You're both responsible and reasonable, except for those times when you aren't!
That is great, I'm glad you were able to go and have such a fun time! :)
I wanna see pictures of you sledding down a glacier!
FUN FUN! No bengay or saran wrap though? That is highly disappointing...maybe I will have to come to your girls camp and so your girls a thing or two. ;) Glad you had fun lady! Love you guys!
So, I hunted your blog down today after you said you had one. Forgive me! Anyway, thanks so much for posting some pictures and experiences from camp. I am so sad that I had to miss out!
