Retro Friday: Wake Up!

Posted by anthologycreative

Goooooooooood Morning Camp Ridgecrest! Every morning the boys at Ridgecrest are woken up by Reveille and Ron. Campers sprint to the two and four square courts and play until Morning Assembly. The date on the back of the picture says 1960. Does anyone remember how the campers and staff were woken up back then? Though the picture is over 50 years old, Phil still remembers the names on the back wall in that cabin when he was a camper! Do you know what cabin this is? Comment below and let us know!

The Well…

Posted by matt

We so often drink from tainted wells that promise us nothing. Remember, Jesus is the well that promises us everything! Drink from the well that won’t run dry, drink form the well of living waters! Take a look at the theme video from 2012, The Well, and think back on all that you learned last summer.

Retro Friday: Tribal Trips

Posted by anthologycreative

Each session at camp our tribes go on one trip. This picture shows a tribe getting ready to load up on a bus from Charlotte “Queen City”. The bus is even air conditioned! Notice the boys all in long pants, even in the heat of the summer! Now we rent school buses to transport our campers to and from trips. Do you know where they are going?  Comment below if you remember loading up on a bus like this one. What was your favorite trip you went on with one of our tribes? Let us know!

National Camp Ridgecrest Day!

Posted by matt

Hello All!

Tomorrow, December 8th, is National Camp Ridgecrest Day! So what does that mean exactly?

Well let us tell you.

Tomorrow will be the day that all across America (and some other countries) we get to show our support of Camp Ridgecrest to all out friends! Basically, you can do anything you want to help you remember camp!

If you want to just wear a camp shirt and show it off to you friends, go for it. If you want to wake up to Ron’s much anticipated “Gooooooooooooood morning Camp Ridgecrest,” go for it (click here for download). Or hey, if you feel compelled to play sockwar in your local grocery store, then by all means. But whatever you may decide to do, don’t forget to take a picture of it and sent it to us at matt.stapp@lifeway.com! We want to see what you are doing around the country!

Some more examples of what to do are:

  • sing a song and a blessing before each meal
  • eat family style
  • draw up a four square court and get your game on
  • sing some camp songs
  • have a morning watch with your family
  • conduct a morning assembly for you family
  • have a “cabin Inspection” for each room in your house

The possibilities are endless folks! Be creative and have fun remembering camp!

And don’t forget to send in pictures of what you do! (send to matt.stapp@lifeway.com)

The Arapaho cabins are changing by the day. They are starting to look more like the welcoming cabins we all know and love! The porches are starting to shape up and the covers over the porches are looking mighty nice as well. Take a look at the pictures and see what all is going down on Arap Hill!

Work Weekend

Posted by matt

This past weekend we had a some more changes take place at camp. We finally had work weekend! Campers, staffers and alumni came through the gates ready to help camp look even better! We worked on stuff ranging from staining some porches to building a fence on the upper green and even helped the community by picking up trash around the roads outside of camp. Everyone had a blast hanging out with camp people again! Check out some photos from the weekend!
