Grandpa goes to Girl's Camp

Girl's camp for Carrie and Allison and the rest of the Ward was only two nights because of an earlier Youth conference for the older girls.  I volunteered to represent the priesthood with Harold Thompson.  We arrived back from Delaware about 12:30 am on Wednesday, thankfully Josh had the Suburban all hooked up to my trailer so all I had to do was get my own things together and be at the Chapel at 8 am. 

The girls were excited for camp, they look forward to a time of fun and self-expression without any guys around. We had excellent planning and leadership and very good food(Low Country Boil).  I helped minimally with meals.  I stayed in a great old cabin right on babbling Catherine Creek, no outside noise could get through that.  The only other responsibility I had was to start fires for the firesides each night, lots of dry wood made that easy.

Personal gear, the food went in a separate RV.

Upon arrival the girls got started on service projects.
 It was hot enough, so moving rocks was just right.










































On Day 2 they took a 5 mile hike.

Allison finished the hike first, she was ready to cool off in the Creek
by the time Carrie dragged in.

  1. That's a great gig for you Papa! I know finding Priesthood can be tricky, I am sure they were grateful you were available.
