Safari in North Carolina?

Posted by matt

Thats right- a safari. When we think safari we think wild beast roaming their natural habitat, free to do as they please. We think of images people only see in magazines. We think of hundreds of creatures joining together at the water hole for a cool down dip. So yeah, I’d say a tour around Camp Ridgecrest qualifies as a safari.

Man Skill

Posted by matt

There is one statement that gives me chills every time it makes its way into a conversation; Men of the Ridgecrest Nation. Camp Ridgecrest is alive with boys becoming men, and men becoming better men, so much so, that camp offers a Man Skill to sharpen and hone those raw qualities of a man. Here’s a little sneak peek into the infamous Man Skill.

Christmas Time is Here

Posted by Karah

Greetings from Ridgecrest Summer Camps!  I hope you were able to read our last blog about the Snow Storm here at camp.  By the time the snow ended, we had over a foot of snow!  It was absolutely beautiful!  Not much has melted so we are still enjoying the remnants.

Well, it’s Christmas time and we’d like to bring you another Norman Rockwell Christmas card.  Thank you Wayne for your talent and inspiration.

We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Well, that time has finally come…the last of the clips from summer 2008.  Now, don’t worry, we’ll still be adding pictures of the construction and videos of other various things.

This next clip is another glimpse into staff week.  Here at Ridgecrest Camps we want not only the campers to have new and fun experiences, but the staff as well.  Watch this clip and see some of the guys taking one for the team!

Posted by Karah

Think synchronized swimming is for girls?  Well, some of the Arapaho guys proved that theory wrong this past summer.  There really are no words to describe these two clips.  Here in the office, we certainly enjoyed watching these…hopefully y’all will enjoy them just as much.  So as requested, here are two cabins showing us all the finer points of synchronized swimming!





Check back next week to see the other two cabin performances!

“Best of” Video Clips: Installment #3

Posted by Karah

You’ve seen the best blobs, now it’s time for some slide action.  Some guys were more coordinated on the slide than others were…as you’ll see.  As for the second clip, some of the best memories from the summer for certain staff is always messy games.  It’s a great time for campers to cover their counselors (and vice versa) in ranch dressing, ketchup, relish, syrup, well, you get the idea.  MMMMM…messy games!
