July 31st through August 3rd was Girls Camp. The theme was Survivor: Choose to Shine We had a great time! I always loved going to girls camp every summer as a young woman. So it was so fun to go back and have fun! Here we are the night before loading everything up. Here are all my girls! I love them all so much! I love the opportunity I have to serve at this time in Young Womens. Included in this picture are my amazing counselors, our awesome camp director and assistant camp director, and 2 of our wonderful bishopric members that were with us the whole time. I love our ward! This is everyone right before we left to head out. Silly picture! Our YCL's getting everyone to sing while we were waiting for everyone to show up. Here we are at camp orientation with the camp site we were staying at. One of our girls up front during orientation. We literally had to hike a mile to our camp site and we had to bring everything in from the cars. The hill was so steep and it was crazy hard to bring everything up. The girls were so great and were such great helpers lugging everything to our campsite. We had tribes that the girls were put in and each tribe had a tent and a flag. Here everyone is getting camp all set up. Tribe Golden Girls decorating their tent. Tribe Radiant's Flag Tribe Golden Girls Flag Tribe Eayst Noa's flag Here were the mailboxes Tribe Glowing Hearts with their flag Tribe Shinning Stars Flag I didn't get a picture of Tribe Glitter's or Tribe Shimmer's flags. Relaxing for a minute after we had set everything up. Me and Laurel getting ready for our orientation Laurel giving our awesome orientation The girls had Immunity Challenges that they got to work together and compete against each other to try to win the immunity trophy. Each day we had 2 Immunity Challenges for the girls to do. It was great and helped build unity. Tug o' War Immunity Challenge Tribe Eayst Noa Tribe Golden Girls Tribe Glitter Tribe Glowing Hearts Tribe Shinning Stars The girls did awesome and seemed to have a lot of fun! Cooking dinner Second Immunity Challenge We timed each tribe as they climbed the wall. This was an amazing part of camp. This was a very difficult task for the girls to accomplish. Almost every girl climbed over the wall. I was overcome with emotion as I watched them struggle to get over the wall. I wanted to yell stop and not make them do this. I didn't want them to get hurt. They were trying so hard and struggling so much. I knew they needed to do this though and as I was in the back holding the ladder for them as they came down, I began to just cry. I thought of these girls in their lives and how they go through so many struggles and they have to do things that are so hard. They struggle and sometimes think they aren't going to make it. They have so much coming at them. Satan tries so hard to make them feel as though they can't make it. At the wall each girl had the support of their tribe right underneath them to help them get over this obstacle. The bishopric was right there to help too and as they got to the top we had 2 young women leaders there to assist them as they got to the top and had to make that final attempt to get over. I likened it unto their peers being there for them, the bishopric being there for them and us as leaders being there for them as they go through struggles in their daily lives. We cheer them on, are there to help them as they struggle, and be there to congratulate when they accomplish their goal. It was an amazing experience and I was so proud of each of the girls! This quote goes perfectly along with this: "The evil influence of Satan would destroy any hope we have in overcoming our mistakes. He would have us feel that we are lost and that there is no hope. In contrast, Jesus reaches down to us to lift us up. Through our repentance and the gift of the Atonement, we can prepare to be worthy to stand in His presence." James E. Faust I was so proud of each of these girls! What amazing youth we have! This was another part of the obstacle course! The girls were so great at figuring things out and working together! Ashley got hurt during the climbing wall. She had previously hurt her knee prior to camp and just over did it at the wall. We wrapped up her knee and put some ice on it and she was much better. Suzanne and Margene! These ladies were awesome! Aubrey and Jami Kira and Sam Cute Jami Trinity being crazy! Clara and Laurel with her Captain America pillow case her secret sister gave her! Teana in her feetie pj's Every day we had Tribal Counsel where we had a spiritual lesson for the girls. They said they loved this part of camp! :) Desiray teaching Me teaching Laurel teaching The 1st immunity challenge for the 2nd day Tribe Glowing Hearts with the Immunity Trophy After a quick lunch we were on our way over to the Zipline! Sara and Ashleigh waiting for their turn Me and Laurel The zipline was so much fun! The girls had a blast! Everyone after the Zipline Crazy picture! :) Immunity Challenge number 2 for the day The girls trying to figure out the puzzle After figuring out the puzzle one tribe member had to feed another tribe member applesauce while being blindfolded. Then one team member had to go and blow a bubble. Tribe Eayst Noa with the Immunity Trophy Craft Time! Me and some of the girls! Clairice and Teana We had skits that night! The bishopric's was the best! After the skits I had to leave so I could attend my baby sister's wedding. So I went home for the night to go to the wedding. While I was gone this was the Immunity Challenge the next day Canoes Each Tribe had to pick 2 girls to be blindfolded as they rowed the boat and they had 1 tribe member who wasn't blindfolded guide them as they raced. They had lots of fun!!! Little water fight! :) Mikayla and Teana Kira, Clara, and Paige This night the Relief Society came up and brought pizza for dinner! Yum!!! I got back this day about 4pm. Suzanne and Triahna...Watermelon! :) Brother Gentile loves to sing with the girls! He even wrote a song for the girls to sing! He is awesome and the girls love him! The bishopric wives came up for testimony meeting too. Silly girls! For dessert we had peach cobbler and the bishopric provided ice cream! Sara Desiray and Rebecca Kristi and Margene Ciera loving her ice cream! Ashley enjoying her ice cream! After dessert it was time for a fireside and testimony meeting Bishop talking to the girls We blew up these balloons and everyone wrote something they wanted to change in their life on the balloon. Something they wanted to change that was making their light not shine as brightly as it could be. Then we got ready to let them go. As they let the balloon go they were to let go of that thing on the balloon too and make a commitment to change that. Everyday the girls were able to nominate each other for shinys. They would recognize one another for things they were doing to get their shiny on and serve others and let their light shine to all those around them. They were so awesome and it was so fun to get them! Desiray...she wouldn't let us take pictures! :) So exhausted!!!! Laurel all bundled up! Margene still somehow finding energy! Time to pack up Suzanne sweeping Lexi and Sierra packing Chillin' before we headed out Me and Laurel Desiray and Margene Below are all the girls with their secret sisters The leaders minus Kristi who had to head off to a family reunion Packing up Time to start lugging stuff down! Still Smiling Margene and me Such hard workers!!!! Finalizing packing up and ready to head home. It was an amazing week! It was a great experience and the girls loved it! Until next year!!! TORTILLA POWER!!!!!

Keep on Your Toes is a recurring endurance challenge in Survivor. It first appeared in Survivor: Cagayan and has reappeared in Worlds Apart, Game Changers, Edge of Extinction, and Survivor 41. Castaways would each stand on a small wooden perch in a rectangular frame, adjusted to their height. Standing on their toes, they would brace a wooden block on their head and keep it in place using the wooden board above them. If they fall off the frame, drop their block, or touch either the structure or t

Survivor Theme Party Game Challenges I racked my brain and turned to the Internet for ideas. I scoured the Internet looking for games to purchase. I came up empty-handed. So, I knew that I was on my own and each would have to be created by myself. Here is my challenge listing, the rules, and way I plan on setting everything up. Challenge Board & Score Board First, I needed a way to keep me on task and a way for our guests to see the upcoming challenges. I found our over-sized dry erase board in the basement and decided this would

Survivor Party
Another fun activity! In April, we planned an activity that focused on topics that pertain to Emergency Preparedness. We had such fun brain-storming ideas for topics and ways to present them. Eventually, we had to cut a lot of what we thought of, and we probably should have cut a little more! Our rule for planning Enrichment activites is this: It needs to be worthwhile, ie. when the ladies come, they will learn something, be uplifted or strengthened, etc. AND the activity needs to have a fun element that allows the ladies to interact with each other and create friendships and sisterhood. We always put a large flyer in the binders that get passed around each Sunday. We also hand deliver a small size of the same flyer to each woman's home the morning of the activity. We are blessed to live in an LDS-rich neighborhood with small ward boundries. (Oregon) We split the ward up into 4 sections and each presidency member delivers a route. We stick the flyer on the front door with painters blue tape. We include all the less-active sisters and are starting to see some tentative responses! It takes us each about an hour. (Here is the link to the Photoshop file I created to make the flyer. It won't show a preview of the file, but you should be able to download it and edit it in Photoshop.) As the ladies entered the Cultural Hall, they had to pass through an obstacle course to be inducted into a "tribe." (When they finished the course, we gave them a colored strip of fabric to tie around their arm.This way we were able to make the tribes as even as possible. As the women were trickling in, we started playing Jeopardy. We divided the ladies in half for the teams. The game was a lot of fun, with a lot of hilarious answers. If we were to do this over, we would cut it down to 2-3 categories. 5 categories made the game last too long. Next up, the ladies divided into one of three tribes, based on the color fabric band on their arm. We moved over to the relay area. There were 4 obtacles to work through. We allowed the ladies to work in pairs at each station, but one station had to be completed before the next pair could start. The stations were: Food Storage, Gardening, Building a Shelter and Wilderness Survival. Relay course along left side of the gym We didn't specify to core the apples and one team crammed their apples in the jars, core and all! We weren't super picky about correct answers. Just that they named every seed. We thought about having each team put up a dome tent, but it would take up too much room. We put really long strings on the poles. There was a small magnet on the end of the string to attach to the paperclip on the fish. This was the funniest part of the evening! These ladies were such good sports. After a laughter-filled relay, we went back to the chairs and to a 5 minute synopsis of 72 hour kits. We had two ladies in the ward show their kits. They both go about theirs very differently from each other, but are very thorough and prepared. It was nice to see some options! A pack for each family member vs. a large kit for the family. The thought behind what is in each kit is unique, as well. Following that was a short crash coarse in Dutch Oven cooking. The man who taught it was really concise and interesting. After his words, everyone got to taste the yummy lasagna and cornbread that he had made in his dutch ovens. We also provided apple crisp as dessert.
The Survivor Scavenger Hunt will be the hit of your party. Teams must compete to find all the essential survival needs while avoiding native curses and solving the mystery. No Scripts, simply FUN!
