This is Brinley's first year of Girls Camp, and she was so excited for it! Cahl had been working for a few months with the camp directors, and had put together several activities for the girls. I was also able to go as a leader, and it was such a neat experience for all of us.
We headed up to Camp Manapu, outside of Ketchum, early Wednesday morning. There were 36 girls, and 14 adults total. Once we got there, we spent most of the afternoon getting camp setup, then Cahl taught the girls how to make dutch oven pizzas for dinner. They all had so much fun working in groups to build their dinners, and a few groups also made pizzas for the leaders. After dinner, they also made a variety of dutch oven desserts, and had a lip sync battle, followed by an astronomy class.
Thursday was spent hiking in the morning, a Faith Walk in the afternoon, and a visit to Easly Hot Springs in the evening. We also had a fry night after they got done swimming, which was a bit hit!
Friday was a day full of activities. The girls had the option to rappel any time during the day, or they could choose between several classes including soap carving, orienteering, knot tying, shelter building, and geology. There was also a slack line, craft tables, and ax throwing available the whole time. I had so much fun assisting Cahl in the classes he taught, as well as watching the girls rappelling. We also had field gams in the evening, which were so much fun!
