This week I was at Girls' Camp all week. Our theme this year was BOOT camp (Building Our Own Testimony). It was so great! I was in charge of all the certification stuff. We did all of it at camp, which rarely happens these days. So on Tuesday and Wednesday we did our certification classes. Then on Thursday we did a First Aid relay. All the youth leaders made themselves look cut up, burned, impailed, choking, dead, etc and we had the girls try to help them. I was so impressed with how well they did. They actually learned something and were able to apply it later. It was such a fun activity. The girls really loved it. Camp was a really fun time this year. You know how some years are just better than others, well this was one of those years. On Thursday we handed out letters to the girls from their parents and one from Heavenly Father, and they left camp and read their stuff alone. When the girls came back they were all crying and had been so touched reading their parents words. It was a really great experience for the girls. I love camp! I feel so blessed that I got to go. We are moving out of our ward in about 3 months and I am really going to miss these girls. I love them all so much. Camp is such a wonderful experience!!Friday, June 27, 2008

Renee! I have pics of "The 4 Season's" getting ready for girls camp one year. It's hard to believe that we're old enough to be in charge now huh? It's neat to have found you on here. Super cute Fam! ♥-Melenie Kidd Hanson
I did not have great camp experiences growing up, and I've always been a bit envious of those who did. How great that you are able to be a part of it, and be a good influence on the girls who attend.
On another note, we're really looking forward to coming to Utah next weekend, and hope to get to see you!!!
You are so great! I bet the girls love you!!
I'm glad you had such a great time!! I can't wait for our camp, i'm really looking forward to it! I would love to get together with you guys and I can't wait for you to be our neighbor either!!
