We had our Ward Camp Out last weekend and we had fun living in the great outdoors for a night. We camped at Valley View Stake Camp in Eden and it was he most beautiful camping spot I have ever been to. That isn't saying much though since I have only been camping maybe less than ten times in my whole life. This place was hit for me they had a huge lodge that we ate and played our games in. The best part was we had a full kitchen with a fridge, oven and running water. It was perfect not having to worry about bringing ice and cooking outside with all the bugs. I know most campers like the whole outside experience, but I thought it was perfect. The camp also had a very nice outdoor pool that was surrounded by pine trees and had a awesome view of the valley down below. We played minute-to-win-it games, ate very yummy food and told funny stories around the fire at night and of course we had smores. It was the perfect summer night with a full moon so it kept the sky lit to walk around without a flash light.
I was very glad to be alive after sleeping in a tent after we were told when we arrived at camp that there was a bear sighting at the camp in the last 10 days and were told not to have any food in the tent areas. I did not sleep much that night. The kids slept like logs with out a care in the world. We then went swimming and headed home.

Reading your post brought back the good old days of ward camp outs when I was a kid. We camped at Pine-top in cabins and swam in the pool. They didn't build the big lodge there until I was in girls camp but still so fun. I'm not big camper either and definitely like having a full working kitchen when I do go.
