I-40 to Open Before Summer
Posted by phil
Attention Camp Parents! NCDOT has announced that the section of I-40, closed since a rockslide on October 25, 2009, should reopen April 27. The plan is for both east bound lanes to reopen, along with 1 west bound lane. The 2nd west bound lane will remain closed through the summer as work along the rock wall continues.
The total cost of the project is estimated to come in around $12.9 million, with approximately 80% being covered by the Feds. Hats off to NCDOT for getting this work done and the highway open before summer!
Camp will welcome it’s first campers of 2010 in about 7.5 weeks! Get excited…

First Round of Frisbee Golf
Posted by phil
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!
