Our theme for this year was S.O.S. Source of Strength.  Each ward in our stake chose a name that related to that theme, and ours was "Be a Lifesaver". It was a nautical theme and all the wards in the stake had that type of theme pretty much. The stake leaders held a "boot camp" one day with obstacle course paint gun thing, a climbing wall, a zip line, etc. It was alot of fun! We do canoes at the resevoire (sp?) one day, and we also did archery as a ward. Our 1st counselor in the bishopric brought all of the stuff and taught us, it was fun as well. We had a great speaker Friday night and testimony meeting as a ward which is always the best part of camp...my humble opinion!

The stake gave out gold star pins to those who earned them by doing a list of good deeds, scripture study, etc. while at camp. They also gave each of the girls a bookmark with the theme on it. Our ward crafts were visors (cloth white ones that the girls could decorate), we also made picture frames with those wooden frames from the craft store and then the small tiles in different colors to make the frame look like mosiac (I know I'm not explaining this too well, sorry)....we also made pajama pants before we left for camp. Because our theme was "Be a Lifesaver" I made each of the girls a Lifesaver doll out of a roll of lifesavers and left one on each girls pillow one night before bed. We also found lifesaver suckers and left them each one in their mailboxes. Our mailboxes were made out of small pringles cans and our camp leader put paper on them to look like a roll of lifesavers and then printed out their names on computer labels and put their names on them....they turned out really cute and the girls took them home....and they were cheap!
