VLOG: A Country Breakfast

Posted by phil

An average meal at Camp Ridgecrest is exciting. It’s loud, tons of energy, lots of food, laughter, cheering, singing, stomping and clapping… it’s just a good time. But there is one morning, twice a summer, where breakfast is a little bit rowdier than a typical day at camp. The best part of this breakfast is that it’s only the beginning of the best day of the session. This breakfast was followed by skills, SockWar, and then Organized Crime. It’s the day that never ends…and they love it. Check out this short clip from breakfast!

Yet another VLOG we are re-posting from this past summer….

Saturdays at Camp Ridgecrest are just awesome! And before you watch this I bet you could ask your camper why and they could tell you. But, just in case they aren’t there to fill you in, please watch this short clip and tell me one good reason why you wouldn’t want to join us on a Saturday at Camp!

My Ideal Day at Camp

The first thing I want to hear in the morning is the sound of  ­­­­­­­­­­­­­  Blank 1    and Ron’s voice ringing loudly over the speaker. All morning when I am at skills I think about ­     Blank 2  Blank 3     Blank 4 . That is just what I need to give me the energy I need for my favorite activity – sock war! The only problem is that I have a sweet tooth, but that will be  Blank 5  by going to the   Blank 6   to get some Reese’s Cups. After working up a sweat during sock war, it feels great to  Blank 7   into the nice cool lake. After free swim, a few friends and I go find  Blank 8  Blank 9 and start building the Blank 10  so we can cook  Blank 11 . But we can’t hang around for too long because we get to go sing campfire songs with Blank 12   Blank 13. There is no better way to end the day than to sit the fire and watch the Blank 14 float into the starry sky.

  1. Blank 1 – The mascot for Texas A&M University’s name is: Texas A&M Traditions.
  2. Blank 2 – What animal loves dancing to “Techno” music: Techno dancer?
  3. Blank 3 – What is the final word in the title of this movie that Elvis starred in back in 1956: Elvis the movie star?
  4. Blank 4 – According to this website, Fun Factz, what is the most productive day of the workweek?
  5. Blank 5 – What word, in the NIV version of Psalm 17:15, also means, “content?”
  6. Blank 6 – On this website (Army/Navy Store), you could purchase a military ____________.

VLOG: Gold Rush – one of their favorites!

Posted by phil

One of the greatest games we play here at camp has got to be Gold Rush! It’s similar to the ever favorite Sock War, but with 10 bases, hundreds of pieces of Gold all over camp, 3 teams, and lots more ways to get points for your team. Here are a few shots of the action! (This was the largest game of Gold Rush is Camp’s history!)

Sockwar: “Sockatar”

Posted by phil

It’s time for another look back at the Sockwars from this summer. The first 2010 Sockwar was a beauty. If you couldn’t guess from the title, this is a play on the hit movie Avatar…but honestly, much better. Enjoy this short look back at Camp Ridgecrest from the summer 2010. Another great video by Matt Stapp.
