Fathers, Sons Celebrate the Great Outdoors

Probably the Church’s first official Father and Son campout happened when Lehi took his boys out into the wilderness to sleep in tents, discuss family history around the campfire; eat off the land; hunt, fish, and hike; and just enjoy their quality time together. 

On the weekend of June 12-13, Fathers and Sons from the B7 Ward followed this ancient prophet’s example when they belatedly commemorated the restoration of the Aaronic priesthood while enjoying nature, friendship and the importance of family relationships at the Enterprise Reservoir. 

Thanks to Claude Warner who prepared Friday evening’s delicious Dutch oven dinner of Shepherd’s Pie; to Steve Gwilliam for his famous peaches and blueberry cobbler Dutch oven dessert as well as a marshmallow chocolate cake with ice cream.  Landon Munk, B7’s new Elders Quorum president was assisted by members of his quorum in preparing the Saturday morning pancake and hungry man breakfast for our campers; and, to Roy Stephen who provided utensils, paper goods and bottled water for the outing.  

Fathers and sons (as well as grandfathers and grandkids), rested and relaxed and then with full bellies enjoyed hiking, looking for crawdads down by the reservoir, playing a ropes golf game and just being together on a warm summer morning.

Thanks to all who participated and who helped make this event another B7 success!
