Camp Journal 2007

I used to work in the Young Women (YW) organization in my church. I miss them greatly! This year, B’s cousin, Trish was the Camp Director for the YW and asked me for any fun ideas for camp. (Ok, I am sooo not a camper… B teases me that my idea of camping is Motel 6.) SO anyway… I thought it would be fun to make little mini journals for the girls to have at camp. These would fit in…
