YW Camp 2008- It's a Jungle Out There!!











So this year's YW camp was WAY different than last years!! I did the same year (4th year), but this year I was the counselor instead of just the certification specialist!! I got to spend every minute with them!! Also, last year I was on crutches and this year everything was better with the new ACL and the opportunity to actually be normal and participate in everything including the 4th year hike!!! And what a blast!!! It was also great to have my little sister on the 4th year activities with me as she was helping with 4th year certification!! She was a blast to hang out with and bond with!! I also bonded with another 4th year (who actually wasn't in my group)!! We came up with the phrase "Pretty much", as she actually used it to make fun of another girl, (i know we're bad), and made it our catch phrase of the week!! It also made for a very difficult time for the guy who was teaching us about stars to finish his presentation as we were laughing our heads off!!! I did learn some awesome things about stars though like the constellation booties!! It was all the girls favorite constellation!! I also was in charge of the water front (I was the lifeguard) and only had two minor accidents with the girls letting go of the zip line in shallow water, but no one was seriously hurt. YW's camp also consisted of skits, game shows, dances, butterfly wings (we were the butterfly's), certification relays, looming hats, chores, late night talking sessions, and fun, fun, FUN!! Definitely want to do it again!! We'll see if they want me next year!!

Ahhhh! Girls' Camp! I love it. That's like the one thing I really want to do, but the last time I had a chance to go sans children I was 7 1/2 months preggers with Ian. Hardcore I know. I will probably be done having kids once I get a chance to make it back to camp, but oh how I miss it. I definitely envy you.
