Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It’s Off to Camp We Go!!

We are getting ready to leave for our Stake Girl’s Camp for a week in June (Uggh, a week in Southern Missouri-outside-in June…I swear the devil came to S-F to take notes when he was designing hell!) Other than the unfortunately essential requirement of being ‘outdoors’ in southern Missouri for girls ‘camp,’ it promises to be a fabulously exciting time of fun, adventure and sweat.

I lived in several different stakes growing up, and attending several different girls’ camps. In a quest to make this one the best EVER for my young women¸ I would like to solicit all of your favorite girl’s camp memories and ideas!! For example, in the Champaign, IL Stake, we sang “My Momma Don’t Wear No Socks!” And endlessly fun rhyming song with an easy chorus to learn (“A Ding-Dong”).

*Fun and creative ways to encourage and enforce modesty-especially with shorts! (our stake has really big problem with this, even among the Youth Leaders...they may not be booty-shorts, but most are definitely not knee-length!)

*Things to do after official lights-out

*Non-damaging, appropriate pranks

*The text/tune of your favorite girl’s camp songs

*Neat gifts or extra items your leaders provided

*Memorable devotional ideas, topics or presentations

  1. For modesty: Head (any tummy showing?), Shoulders (are they covered?), Knees (are the shorts down there?, any cleavage?), and Toes (any skin in the back showing when you bend over?) That song is fun, but captures the important points.
