Ya,tons of it, a whole month of it. I LOVED IT!!
First Oakcrest... So much fun. Left on June 17-21. Went with my best friend! I had the best counselor ever! Her name is Mango. We did a ton, of activities up at Oakcrest. Theme "Come Follow,me"
On the first day we didn't really do much.
We meet our counselor,and our group. Took all of our luggage to our cabin, then played get to know you games, had lunch, played Oakcrest clue, played kickball-campers-v.s. counselors. had dinner, had F.H.E.,sang lots of songs, got ready for bed, devotional,15 minutes of silence for personal scripture studding and journal writing,went to bed.
Second Day
Got up, and got ready. Had morning devotional, and scripture study,then went to breakfast. After breakfast we waited for flag ceremony by playing games. Then had flag ceremony, after that was a service activity. We made sock balls, to send to a special needs school in Honduras, I think. The next activity was going over the for strength of youth pamphlet,and asking questions about the topics in the pamphlet. Then we went and did a lot of singing then lunch. We had trading post right after lunch. Which was awesome, that when Emma and I got our sweatshirts. Next was to get the paper for our costumes for the parade after dinner. After we dropped of the paper at our cabin. We did archery. Then went back to the cabin to work on our costumes. Then off to flag ceremony and dinner.After dinner it was the parade and a dance. Emma and I went outside to talk to people we knew, because it got really hot in the dance. After the dance we went to the cabin and went and got ready for bed, the had our night time devotional, 15 minutes of silence and went to bed.
Third Day at Oakcrest-Wednesday
Woke up, got ready-and went straight to breakfast. Today was our day on the hike. So we got our sacked lunches and went on our hike. It wasn't a long hike at all. Once we got up to the top of the mountain-hill, we played games, and had scripture study. Then solo time. During solo time, you go off by yourself. Not to far thought that you can't hear the counselor singing to come back. So I went and sat kinda by some trees, and read my scriptures, and wrote a lot of things that came to my mind down. Then once I started hearing singing I went back, and had lunch. Emma and I had fun eating and trying not to let the wind blow dirt into our food.
After we were done eating we went back down, and got ready for the foam slide, and got ready for showers. When we were down with all that we had a little bit of free time.
Then it was time for dinner. Their food there is so good. After dinner we did skits, and went to our spot for our groups testimony. Almost everyone after that was in tears, then we got ready for bed and had our devotional, 15 minutes of silence and went to bed.
Fourth Day
It was the last full day at Oakcrest, Today was the day were we did arts and crafts, and obstacle course, more spiritually activities,and Bishop and the young womens presidency from our stake came up. Also President Cottle came up too. It was good to see them all. They talked to us,and gave us all journals. Then we went off with our Bishops and he gave us cupcakes and talked to us. Also Bishop brought candy up from my family to give to me. Maddie and I couldn't stop laughing. When Emma and I got back to the cabin. lets just say I was very,very crazy. To much sugar. Emma and I talked to Mango until the other girls came back.
Then we had 15 minutes of silence , then went to another cabin and sat on the stairs leading up to it, with a bunch of other girls from different cabins, then we sang church and Oakcrest reverent songs, until a group of counselors came around and sang to us. Then we all went to our cabins got and ready for bed, so girls went to dance, Emma and I didn't.
A little bit later we had our last night time devotional, then we stayed up and mango told us stories and they were really funny. Then she read us the story she read the night before and we all went to bed. Oh every night Emma and I would switch beds. Since we were on bunk beds.
Fifth day
Last day. We all got up got ready, Emma and I and a few other girls, I think stayed in our pjs. Then we packed up all our stuff, then we had breakfast outside our cabin on the porch. Then got our awards.
My award was Closet cray cray. Then we went and took all our stuff to the field and took pictures. then went to the amphitheater, and did lost and found, had the counselor sing a few more songs.Then counselor go around with note for each of us and the paper with all the counselor names on it. Then we gave hugs, everyone was in tears after that. Then everyone went down to the field gave hugs, and we left.
Emma and I memorized " Come follow,me" Oakcrest style
Stake Youth Conference
I only went to on Thursday for the carnival and dance. Then on Saturday for service and slip and slide. Friday I was too tired, and didn't feel good. It was fun though.
