This week's handout is a full 8 1/2 x 11 activity sheet instead of doing this portion of the lesson aloud. I must say, it is one of my favorites so far this year.

Guess What...
Guess who was just called as our ward camp director? That's right, me. Now, if you don't know me well, like really well, you would never know that I don't camp. And I really mean DON'T! My first year at camp, as a 12 year old, I came home every night and went back each morning with a leader. I did suffer through years 2 and 3. I missed my fourth year because I was on a church history tour, but we (all the girls my age in my ward were on the trip with me) did all of our certification in the car on our way to the 4th year hike which I did the following year as well. As soon as I wasn't expected to go to camp, I didn't. No YCL years or anything. That just goes to show how terrified I was to hear that this was the calling in store for me. Not only had I not been to camp, let alone camping, in 15 years, but I have done much to block those experiences out of my mind. Unfortunately, that means that I have little memory of even the spiritual experiences we had, the fun times, the practical jokes, and the activities and crafts we created. So, here I am, in a whole new world, doing my best to create an amazing experience for my girls without really having my own experience to draw from. Along the way I will be posting our projects and ideas here along with handouts to hopefully "help a sister out".
By the way, with no kanoodling at all, I have managed to opt out of staying at camp over night. Oh, the wonders of having an infant. Julia, I am so grateful I have you right now. And every moment. I have a WONDERFUL assistant camp director and an AMAZING young women's president that will hold down the fort until I get there each morning.
Oh...and in Las Vegas, most of the stakes go to Camp Stimpson. So I will be going back to the same camp that I went to as a youth. Hopefully I don't have any horrible flashbacks upon our arrival!!! =)
