Snow: One Reason We Are A SUMMER Camp

We’ve had enough snow to require 4 wheel drive to get around camp. The Lake is solid ice. We’re pretty sure you could walk across it, but we’re not willing to risk it. We did have time to make a snowman as we got out and enjoyed the snow. But in the end, we’re happy that the upstairs of the Lake Lodge has heat! The wind chill has been below zero! Enjoy the pictures… (you can click on the pics to enlarge them.)

Snow Storm at Camp!

We woke up this morning to snow and it hasn’t stopped coming down! We probably have about 4 inches on the ground right now. Here are some pictures we took at about 10:30am.

We wish you guys were here to go sledding! Have a great Christmas break!

4-6 inches of snow! 12 inches of ice!

We were surprised at the amount of snow we received! All of us had trouble making it up the hill from the front gate. Then once we made it up, we were almost stuck there! The ice held us at camp for a while with the heat turned way up and our winter layers on. Not the typical scene you think of when you remember Camp Ridgecrest! It’s quite a jump from playing 4-sqaure with our shirts off, or screaming across the lake on the zip line. But it was still a ton of fun. We’re lucky to get to come and play and work at camp every day! Enjoy the pictures, we have some more coming soon of some projects around camp!

So, 12 inches of ice?? Not 12 inches deep, but the ice cycles were 12 inches long! Check these out… I opted to not park under the ledge of ice spikes. That would be bad for the Subaru.

A Winter Wonderland

For the past few days, camp has been experiencing very cold temeratures; cold enough for the lake to freeze over! Then yesterday it started to snow, and kept snowing off-and-on all night. This morning camp looked gorgeous with a nice layer of the white stuff.

Snow at Camp…in October!

We woke up to an unexpected white blanket of snow today at Camp Ridgecrest! Well maybe less of a blanket and more of a dusting. Either way, it’s cool to see Camp Ridgecrest with snow on the ground. Thought you may want to take a peek, so here you go!
