Girls Camp--2

Here in our church in Singapore, they also do Girl's Camp.  So we stayed at our last house an extra week after school got out because that was the week for Girl's Camp there.  Therefore, Allison has been twice this year.  It's a little different, though...on MANY levels!  First, it is frequently held in the fall.  Second, it's done on a ward level.  And third, it's not really camping.

First, it is held in the fall because most Americans go back to the States for a couple months in the summer to visit family.  Second, it's done on a ward level for the American wards, because we are a "bit disruptive" to the local wards...our traditions, school schedules, leadership styles, etc.  Third, it's not really camping because we choose anywhere we want to go and, well, just see...

Maybe Allison can come back and place comments.  I had to steal pictures from her leaders to include them here.  We have a great ward and our two camp leaders chose Telunas Beach Resort in the Riau Islands of Indonesia.  Yep.  They took a ferry out of Singapore to Bintam and then a longboat to the resort.  Probably about 4 hours total.

How fun! And enlightening. I'd never thought about what a worldwide Girls Camp would entail.

How neat. and interesting how the American wards do theirs separately.
