Good Morning Camp Ridgecrest!

Posted by phil

One of the most memorable things from Camp Ridgecrest is the Reveille Bugle each morning followed by the Director’s voice booming over the PA system waking up campers and staff alike. It’s classic, it’s startling, and it’s comforting all at once. Although we like to sleep in once we head back home to our beds, there are times when we would love to remember what it’s like to wake up on a cool Camp Ridgecrest morning. For that reason, we have created  the Good Morning Camp Ridgecrest Wake Up Bugle!

Below you will find a link to the Good Morning Bugle from Camp Ridgecrest, complete with Ron’s voice waking you up! Please read the directions carefully to get this “ringtone” uploaded properly to your phone. The process takes less than 5 minutes.
