I was gone for about 4 days as a chaperone for one of the girls from our youth group who was selected by the congregation to go to Leadership training. The training occured up at Shoshone Basecamp on the North Fork of the Couer d'Alene River. We learned how to be a leader in the church, and how to serve in the church. The hope is that the youth go home with a sense of empowerment to lead those in their youth group and encourage them when it comes to Sevent Leadership. We were given the opportunity to serve at the camp through servent projects such as re-staining a deck, getting tee pees ready for kids, and building a trail. What a wonderful experience for Claire (the youth) and I, we learned so much, and had fun doing it!

This was the helium pole (another group building activity), as hard as this group tried to get the pole on the ground, it kept going UP!
My small group we were the "Hot Rock Bootie Bombers!" Hot Rocks is for the rocks we moved during our servant project...they were SUPER HOT!
Hurray for the the whole LYO/YELS Group! What fun we all had!
