For the past week I have been at the Bonnie Doon Stake Young Women's Camp at Ross Lake. I grew up in the Bonnie Doon Stake but I never made it out to a Stake Camp because I was always either on vacation with my family or unable to get enough days off of work, so I kind of felt like I was catching up on something I'd missed out on. The fact that President Card, the Stake President when I was a Laurel, is still the Stake President and that other leaders at the camp kept mistaking me for a young woman actually made me kind of feel like I was an eighteen year old at camp (the heidi braids may have helped too).
Six girls, three of whom are visiting from Korea, and two other leaders made up our Lloydminster group. It rained nearly every day but we had a lot of fun canoeing, hiking, biking, geocaching, and going to the other activities and firesides ( I still have half a dozen weird camp songs lingering in my head from the fireside sing-a-longs). I can say with complete confidence now that my gore-tex hiking boots are waterproof enough to withstand the torrential downpours of the West Coast Trail, unfortunately I cannot say with ringing confidence that they will be completely comfortable after kilometer 20.
