Sockwar: Pirates vs. Ninjas

I wish all of you could be here to see all the Sockwar Intros! But since that will never happen, we’ll continue to capture them on video for your enjoyment. When I watch this, the word “Epic” comes to mind…

Truck Loads of Gold Found at Camp Ridgecrest

Posted by phil

Gold Rush is one of their favorite games we play here at Camp Ridgecrest! It may look like the famous Sockwar, but it’s quite different. There are 3 teams for Gold Rush, and the object is to collect as much Gold hidden all around camp as possible and take it safely to the bank. You can also get points for hitting members of  a different team with your sock that is filled with sawdust. Plus, you want to gain control of as many bases around camp as possible. Lots of ways to get points, lots of ways to help your team, and lots of ways to have fun! All this, plus our staff dressed up like they lived in the Wild West, makes for quite a game. Check out this short clip of your campers playing Gold Rush!

3 of Their Favorite Things

Posted by phil

So for the past few days, campers at Camp Ridgecrest have had the chance to experience some pretty incredible activities. Saturday morning started off with a Sockwar – perhaps the most popular activity at camp. That evening Crestridge came over for Carnival…where we bring the carnival to camp! We have about 10  rides, snow cones, cotton candy, a dunking booth, tons of games, food, and more. As if that wasn’t enough, Sunday night rounded out the weekend with Council Ring. This is a special time where campers get to do something that they can’t experience anywhere else. Check out this video to see what I’m talking about…

The Secret to Saturdays

Posted by phil

Another action packed day here at Camp Ridgecrest. What’s the secret to an awesome day at camp? 1) Do something that they can’t do anywhere else 2) Surprise them…especially those kids who think that have you figured out 3) Make them laugh 4) Let them do it along side young adults that will love them no matter what they do….not a bad way to spend a summer day in the mountains…
