First Round of Frisbee Golf

Posted by phil

Camp Ridgecrest - Middle GreenCamp 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!

4 secrets to finding the best staff around!

Posted by Karah

Here are the 4 secrets that I used on my travels to find the best staff around to work at Camp!

1.  Drive a lot, as in 2,200 miles in 13 days across 4 states, to search for the coolest guys you can find.

2. Visit some awesome college campuses, feed a lot of people and tell them about camp!

3. Hang out with awesome staff who have worked with us before and feed them as well, they like food.

4. Praise God for Camp and how he blesses us year to year with the best staff in the country!

Those are just a few things that I learned as I traveled from Ridgecrest all the way to Orlando and back on my trip to recruit staff for the summer of 2010 and see some old staff along the way!  You all need to be real excited about this summer, other than the fact of getting back for Sock War, Campfire, Council Ring, and Skills, but, also,  because your staff is going to be AWESOME! I guarantee it.  I can’t let you guys down when it comes to staff!

Be looking on the blog in the coming weeks for a list of the staff that are returning!  I know you will be excited.  I will leave you with some pictures from my trip!

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!
