Camp-wide Clue VLOG

The summer is off to an amazing start! For our first camp-wide activity we did a huge game of Clue. Just like the board game, campers in teams had to figure out who dun it. Our staff were dressed up in celebrity characters that were hilarious. It was a great time! See this short video to get a sneak peak.

Check back soon for more updates and VLOGs…

First Round of Frisbee Golf

Camp Ridgecrest is finally free to the snow that was on the ground from before Christmas! Ron, Seth and Phil were anxious to get outside and enjoy the warm-ish weather. As you can imagine, after a long winter, we are excited to get out and have fun around camp!

With the long winter came lots of down trees and power lines around Camp. We’ve started our clean up process, but it’s sure to take us a few months to get camp looking like the beautiful place you all know and love.

With camp just around the corner, you should be getting your Camp Forms in the next few days! Rather than mail them home, your parents will receive an email where everything can be ordered online. Here are a few pictures of some of the clothing for this summer.

And finally, the Spring Ridgecrest Redskin will be in the mail this week. Get excited to see who’s coming back and what you have to look forward to this summer!

Some Clothing Pics:

For all the clothing for Summer 2010, check out your Email that will be coming be the end of this week!
