Beehive Camp...July 2010

I have the privilege of being the 2nd counselor in the Young Women's organization in my ward. With this calling I get to spend a lot of time with the Beehive class. This year was the Stake Pioneer Trek for those 14 & older, so we got to have a short Beehive camp for those girls who weren't old enough to go on Trek. It was only a one night-er but we packed in a lot of fun activities!

We roughed it out in a brand new spec home in Kaysville complete with running water, toilets, a stove, air conditioning, and nice comfy carpet to sleep on.

Our first activity was going to the This is the Place park in Salt Lake City. We definitely enjoyed ourselves here & loved learning about the heritage of some of the pioneers.

That evening we made Hobo dinners over a fire, roasted marshmallows and had smores, did skits, and played games.

The next morning we went on a nature walk over at Jensen Nature Park and afterwards we took some random pictures of the girls having fun.

These girls are just the cutest - I loved spending time with them getting to know them even better. I am so blessed to have such a fun and rewarding calling. These girls teach me more than they will ever realize & I love them to pieces!
