I tried to suggest the same idea (that obedience to camping rules brings rewards just as obedience to all correct principles frees us) when I wrote a little song for girls' camp about a quarter century ago. The theme was 'Roughin' it Easy'. As I remember, it went something like this. <BR/><BR/>We're the girls of _____________ Stake,<BR/> This week we're camping out.<BR/>We're goin' to rough it easy and<BR/> Make do or do without.<BR/><BR/>We have leaders who are faithful<BR/> And they're also lots of fun<BR/>So we'll listen to instructions<BR/> And we'll follow every one.<BR/><BR/>We're roughin' it easy,<BR/> Roughin' it easy<BR/>As we joyfully keep the<BR/> Commandments of the Lord.<BR/>Right livin' is easy,<BR/> It's tough, but it's easy,<BR/>And eternal life is our rewardAnna Arnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882034663742937010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-53017081784126718422007-06-29T14:44:00.000-07:002007-06-29T14:44:00.000-07:00Thank you for visiting, Emily.

Actually, I think i will print it out and give it to our ward camp director. She is very young and lots of fun...but I think it would be great for her to be reminded about the purpose for girls' camp.Kari Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855609339118198399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-46557421345327997692007-06-28T20:32:00.000-07:002007-06-28T20:32:00.000-07:00I just discovered this blog and love it.

Looks like this was a very fruitful camping experience for you--and I'm sure lots of the girls picked up some lessons, too. Thanks for reminding us.Liz Adairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08815648250166705199noreply@blogger.com
