Girl's Camp

For all my fellA girls camp attendees, remember the good old days of sitting on "The Rock" and listening to "The Story"? Those were good times. As the Young Women's president here in Palau, and with the branch being not too big, I'm also dually camp director. As I have never been either before, much less at the same time-I'm stressed. So of course, I know that all the original die hards like most of the people reading this-would be a great place to turn for help. Girls camp is Friday Aug 9-10... What I'm really lacking are activities-mostly craft ideas that can't be too fancy because we don't really have craft supplies anywhere in the country. Our theme "It's a Jungle out there" coincides with the Danville Stake's girls camp this year so that I can borrow some of their ideas as well.
Our girls camp here in Palau will be an overnighter in the famous Rock Islands. We will have access to canoes, fishing, coconut trees, sand,...big bugs, big cocnut crabs (seriously they are bigger than my hear and look like aliens!) We will not have electricity of fresh water, and we will be getting there by boat. If as you read this any ideas come to mind that could help me help these girls have the kind of experience that we had, I'd appreciate your input. These girls have also NEVER had a girls camp. So-I really want to give them a great one.
I DO have a copy of girls camp songbook-so that is DONE!!! I've already taught them a few of the fun ones-they love it. I've already taught them about wiggling like a fish, and writing with their butt too. (these for having elbows on the table, losing items, etc.) Any other token memories...? Thanks everyone who can contribute.

You're my hero Sheryl. I can't imagine being Young Women's pres and camp director and everything! Your young women probably worship you. I would....

I was going to say the exact same thing that Mel was going to say. I have NO IDEA how I would handle something like that. We're still kids, right? If I can think of anything great I will let you know, but as of now I am drawing a blank.
