Millcreek Pines Survivor Young Women's Camp with BEARS!!!

On Monday July 14th my mom and I went to Millcreek Pines Stake Young Women's Camp . My mother is currently the Stake Camp Director for her stake and I tagged along as her assistant. We had heard that there could be bears around but nothing prepared us for what happened this week. Our first bear sighting was on Tuesday when it got into some trash at our camp and then it proceeded to take trash from other campsites around the same area. After we got rid of all our food, things were peaceful for about a day. We then had another bear sighting on Wednesday so hunters and hounds were called out to track the Bear. Last night was the peak of our adventure! While all of the girls were having fun performing skits, a hound entered the camp and walk right to us, which meant a bear was near by. We ran to our tents to wait it out. Once the cost was clear (or we thought) We proceeded to finish our skits when a Bear came into the camp, but this time it would not go away. We screamed, yelled, even threw things (that is what you do to get rid of bears) but he still was sniffing around for food. At that same time a different bear enter the opposite side of the camp. Once that happened we weren't taking any chances. We told everyone to grab there belongs and go home! This morning we came back to get our tents and this is what we found!! I'm so glad I didn't stay there last night!

This is a Bear paw print on the tent right next to mine. There are actually three of them on the tent. It looked like he actually tried to climb it.
We had hung this table cloth as a screen for a slide show we had prepared for the girls. I don't think the Bear likes that idea cause he took a bite out of it!

My mom was talking with the deputy and the bear whisperer (i don't know the name of his real title) after the second bear sighting.

When we rushed home last night some of the wards did not have room in there cars for all their girls so they had to take coolers out of their cars and leave them at camp. When we came back this morning we saw that the Bears had made a huge mess!!
