New Calling and Need To Vent!!
Posted On 06/10/2009 17:38:40 by lestertheemt

About four weeks ago I was called to be the assistant girls camp director!  A bit of back ground...... I went to girls camp once!! Absolutely despised it!! Mainly because in my eyes it wasn't camping!  So when I first heard of the calling I was a bit hesitant, but excepted it any way.  Well last night we had a meeting with the Stake and last year at camp they did pedicures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I just about fell out of my chair!!  Now don't get me wrong.................girls camp is for the girls and suppose to be fun, but sheeesh!!!! 

I guess I just feel that this is so not camping and completely feel out of my element.  Maybe its in part that I am NOT a girlie girl (never had a pedicure, doubt I ever will).  I've been a medic for 11 years and 5 of those years were spent on SAR.  And I guess apart of me feels that these girls are not being given the knowledge that could and would be useful in an outdoor/survival situation.

And yes I have read the camp manual.

I hear you! Just do your best. My wife was in YW years ago and at camp for the required hike they would go a mile down the hiway and back. She changed it to an all day hike to a mountain top with a devotional on the top. They loved it.


Just inject some of yourself into the camp, while reaching the goals the Church is trying to reach. Grow testimonies.
