Girls' Camp

Shaylee spent the last week at the Heber Valley Camp in Heber, Utah. This is the second year our girls have had the opportunity to attend camp there. The Heber Valley Camp is being created by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to serve the needs of Young Women, families, and Church groups in central and northern Utah. This beautiful camp is located on a spectacular tract of land covering more than 8,000 acres in the mountains southeast of Heber, Utah. Elevation of the camp ranges from 7,500-10,000 feet.

The first two camps were completed and first used during the summer of 2003. Additional camps have been added each year and construction is expected to continue for several more years. When completed, the Heber Valley Camp is expected to have the capacity to host over 5,000 campers at a time. While its primary purpose is to serve the Church's Young Women Camp program, it is also available to be used by other Church and family groups when not in use by the Young Women.

This is also the second year Dennis has been able to go up to girls' camp for a day--he had fun standing in for a member of the stake presidency during the FHE they held for the girls. He always takes such great photos:











Shaylee had a marvelous time (of course) and came home tired and dirty (although I don't know if I'd call it camping--they're in cabins with regular bathrooms, a mess hall, etc.). Anyway, she sprained her knee and is wearing a brace, but other than that came through unscathed.
