Girls really do have more fun

At least at Girls Camp, they do. This is one of the first things I learned as a priesthood observer at our ward’s Girls Camp this week. Scout Camp: fun, not very organized. Girls Camp: organized and a lot more fun with some amazing spiritual moments.

I’d like to address one of those spiritual moments first. The young women’s leaders recreated Lehi’s “tree of life” dream in a very special way.

The young women were told they were going on a “night hike.” They were taken about a half-mile from camp. One by one, they were blindfolded. A leader took their hand and led them to a rope. This rope went into the woods for about 600 yards or so. They were told they had to hold onto the rope and keep on walking until the end.
