Camp Legacy

This week Leigh and Tiana headed up north on Monday June 10th to 12th for an experience of a lifetime.  Camp Legacy is for girls in the church that are 16 years and older. It's a fairly new type of camp. I had never heard of it until we moved here and this is the first year that our stake is doing it.

 Leigh and Tiana went to Camp Legacy. What can we tell you about it? Nothing really. 
Why? It's all part of the experience.

 I will say the last day of camp, us parents got to go up and meet with the kids.

 We had heard that they had spiritual ups and downs. We all, including Leigh, couldn't understand all the secrecy behind this camp. 

 Leigh had been called to be a zone leader at the camp. She was in charge of the spiritual well-being of the girls in her cabin. She went to meetings leading up to the camp. She prepared devotionals for the girls. 

 After meeting up with the girls, we all gathered together for a testimony meeting. The meeting was spiritual awesomeness. 

The girls shared the experiences that they had during this camp. It was wonderful!! You could feel the spirit. You could tell the girls learned so much, and had grown so much spiritually. 

This was Leigh's zone. She had a companion zone leader as well. It was so nice that in Leigh's cabin, Joanne Gundersen, our YW's president and Michelle Ponzoch, our 1st counselor in YW's, were there to share in this neat experience.

After listening to everything that happened at Camp Legacy, I can understand all the secrecy. I can understand why many adults wanted to go and be apart of the experience. We were asked not to share what happened only to preserve the experience for our other children. They have a separate camp for the boys called Aaronic Priesthood Camp, where they go through similar experiences. 

If your kids ever get to go to Camp Legacy/AP Camp, go! You and your kids will LOVE it!!!
