What happens when you give kids well over 13,000 water balloons?
Posted by philSo, water balloons aren’t a new thing. But what happens when you give a group of kids well over 13,000 water balloons. After the game was finished, our second count of balloons estimated closer to 15,000 water balloons….all for one game here at Camp Ridgecrest! I guarantee that this is a game that they won’t experience anywhere else… Check out this short video of the game we call Guerilla Warfare.

Our staff were dressed up in celebrity characters that were hilarious. It was a great time! See this short video to get a sneak peak.

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…
