Camp on the brain

I am eating, sleeping, and breathing girls camp right now. There are only about 6 weeks until camp. Can I just scream? I've been working on camp plans since I was called last summer, but the closer it gets, the further I feel from being ready. The basic plans for camp are in place, it's all detail work that's left. I'm trying to find the inspiration for the daily themes. Our main theme is "We seek after these things" from the 13th article of faith, we will be pirates searching for treasure. I want to teach the girls that if they use the 13th A of F as a guideline for living their lives their treasure will be going to the temple and eternal life. If any of my friends out there have favorite quotes or stories related to any of this, please share!
I just talked to a woman at the ranger station, I'm trying to set up service project, and she told me that they hope to get the campground open by memorial day, but they still have 6 foot drifts and at least two feet of snow in the campgrounds. I'm going to cross my fingers and say my prayers that things will work out for us and that we will be able camp and not freeze. We might be camping in my backyard!

You'll be awesome! I'm missing camp this year—took too long to decide on a date, and we had to set dates for two family reunions. I'm sad about it, but there's always next year! Good luck!
