Girls Camp or BUST!

We had a fantastic girls camp this year!  I had such a good time with the amazing girls in our ward.  Here are some highlights!

Our theme was “Treasure Island: All that Glitters is not Gold” and we had pirate booty bags to collect our loot in!

We had three teams.  The “Arrrgh-anges” (oranges with a pirate twist)

562

The “Purple Pirate People”.

563

and “The Pink Panthers”  (our name had absolutely NOTHING to do with the theme, but our starburst was pink, so…. plus our skit was freakin’ AWESOME!)

564

We played “Minute to Win it” games and were laughing our heads off.
