Most of you know I'm in charge of Girl's Camp for our church girls (ages 12-18). This is my 3rd year and it takes all year of planning and prepping and breathing the theme! I love every theme we've done ("Life is Sweet", "Heavenly Ever After", and now "My Amazing Race - to become a SOUL Survivor") but this one really is going to be awesome. "Why?", you ask? - because I'm an Amazing Race fanatic (don't you read my blog?!)
Tonight was our Camp Kickoff meeting where I introduced the theme to all my camp directors. Here's the poster I made for the meeting. I also had travel posters all around the room. I made up this "clue box" that held all the clues with the meeting agendas & info in them for each attendee.
You can't have an Amazing Race without a clue box, right?!
Here are the goodies from tonight-
Each person got a tear-strip envelope with their "route info" envelope, the cd with the camp song and the music & lyrics for it. Then I made them all "world" cookies and themed water bottles.
Here's the "route info" for the night - the meeting's agenda

Those lucky girls. You know you will never be released from that calling! Love the Amazing Race theme and the cookies turned out great. Almost makes me wish I was going to girls camp :)
Holy Cow...you are AMAZING!!! I love everything. Those girls are so lucky, you are so creative.
you are the best!! I'm a fan of the show and a fan of you!
Found you from Pinterest... We are doing girls camp on a ward level and have this theme. I'm looking for ideas for activities for our 3 day camp, and I've never seen the show! Love all the fun things you came up with!
I found you on Pinterest as well! I am an Activity Days leader, Camp Certification leader and I love The Amazing Race! Your blog is my heaven! Thank you for posting your ideas. I am trying to hash out a way to incorporate The Amazing Race into certification. You are so much help!
My daughter sent me this --- I am pretty impressed. Thank you for making camp so much fun, what lucky girls. I am working on a "forgiveness" and will use your inspiration to come up with something that hopes to be so cool.

From Jenny:
Thank you for all your love and interest in our Girl's Camp 2011. I created all these on Photoshop and can't email those files. I can share the pillow treat toppers. Let me know if you have any specific questions - it was a really fun theme to work with! Good luck to all you directors!!
I too am doing this for girls camp. How did you find the printables? If you have them and are willing to share - I would LOVE it. mandywettstein@yahoo.com
How did you make the mat - specifically the words and the globe?
Also, how did you race everyday or have a few activities that were race related?
Thanks, Jennifer
