I was able to go with Claire to girls camp again this year. I have worked with Claire for the last 8 years. This has become something we look forward to after our Girls camp adventures last year. This was the welcoming manikin that was used many ways throughout the week. Arms to scare, she ended up in a leaders bed one night, and as you'll see at the end used to scare people in the porta-potty. 
Their theme was "Be Strong"
I love Claire! So many things she experiences at camp are new to her! Her all time favorite part is hanging out with the other girls in the tent!
It is so fun having Emily at camp with us! Not only is she a pure joy to be around, but she is such a help, especially this year as she was repeatedly told by her mom I was to not lift. She was a bit of a nazi when it came to it, but it was appreciated! Claire always does better when Emily is near!

We have the luxury of nice tents and porta-potties. But it was a treat to have a little stream close to camp. 
I was amazed to see how excited these girls got over crawdad hunting. They were all involved with catching them! It was a first for Claire, and it was so fun to watch as the girls taught her what to do and helped her catch them. 
Canoeing on the last day was such a perk! We tried to talk Claire into going back to shore, but she never wanted to. We finally got her back for lunch, but as soon as she was done she was ready for more. It was hot, and as tempting as jumping in was and as hard as Emily tried to talk me into it I couldn't figure out how to jump in with out tipping Claire, and then there was no way I'd be able to get back in the boat! So, sorry Emily, next year!
She was our morning greeting the last day. I knew she was going to be there, but the heart still skips a beat when the bathroom door is opened and she is sitting there!

It was the ward I grew up in so it was a special treat to have some leaders there I had when I was in girls camp. It was amazing to see how sweet the girls are to Claire.
