DAKOTA WHAT?

DAKOTA RED!!!! The theme for Girls Camp this year was B.O.O.T.Camp which stood for Build Our Own Testimony. Our ward chose Dakota Red as our Platoon name. Dakota means friends/allies, and red means courage. We wanted our name to have meaning. So in choosing Dakota Red we wanted to focus on a couple of things which were choosing our friends wisely, keeping our good friends close, and having the courage to stand up for what we believe in. I think we succeeded!!

I have had the opportunity to go to girls camp 3 out of the last 4 years and I think this year may have been my favorite. Camp Langston was amazing! (minus the rusty beds) There was so much to see....deer and horses and buffalo. The lake was so much fun with canoeing, paddle boats, a rope swing (which I conquered and will never do again), and the huge yellow slide.

I am not a camper at all, but there is something about girls camp that I just absolutely LOVE!! I love getting to know the Young Women in a different way then you do when you see them on Sunday and at Mutual. I love giggling and laughing, staying up super late, and sharing funny stories with all of them. I love that they get see the goofy side of me. And I love the awesome leaders that I get to spend time with. They are AMAZING!!! I love them and the Young Women so much!!! They are truly what makes girls camp so much fun!!!!

Some of our girls and our Young Womens President.....I bet you can't tell which one she is...
