It’s more than a breakfast, it’s everything short of an all out food fight plus a grit eating contest. After skills today we have one of our most popular games: Sockwar! And then tonight we have the return of Gladiator Games. Lots to do today! Be sure to log into eCamp to see pictures from today!

A New Thing in the Middle of Camp!

Posted by phil

New Ridgecrest InfirmaryWe were nervous about it’s location, but man, the New Infirmary is beautiful and fits perfectly in it’s new home on the middle green. Once used for Arap Chapel, this spot was the home site for the original house in Ridgecrest! Now, the new Arap Chapel is nestled into a piece of woods with a little more character, and privacy.  And we have put a comfortable and inviting building back onto the middle green. With an large front porch and a view of the lake, the nurses new home will also house the new nurses station as well as a place for campers and staff to hang out on the porch and rock during free time. If you have not seen this building in person, then you will no doubt be impressed. We look forward to seeing you soon….camp is just around the corner!
