Safari in North Carolina?

Posted by matt

Thats right- a safari. When we think safari we think wild beast roaming their natural habitat, free to do as they please. We think of images people only see in magazines. We think of hundreds of creatures joining together at the water hole for a cool down dip. So yeah, I’d say a tour around Camp Ridgecrest qualifies as a safari.

One Game to Rule Them All…

Posted by matt

Have some free time? Want to learn a game of strategy, drama, and prestige? I can think of no game better to heighten your senses, sharpen your intellect and build your biceps. Chess. Chess. And more Chess. (play at own risk)

Video: Ron Loves Halloween…

Posted by phil

I bet you didn’t know that Ron’s favorite holiday was Halloween! He is almost obsessed! The lake Lodge at Camp Ridgecrest gets decorated in his spare time, he plays jokes on us in the office, and he even likes to scare us. Ok, ok, this may not be completely true, but we sure had fun making this video about our favorite Director – Ron. Enjoy and have a fun and safe Halloween!

VLOG: Super Saturday

Posted by phil

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!

VLOG: Gladiator Night

Posted by phil

Another addition of a “lost” VLOG we are re-posting to our blog!

Men. We love letting boys be boys, while at the same time, teaching boys to be men. And not just men, but men of God.

While I’m not saying you have to have huge muscles and be mean and tough to be a man, there is something within boys that loves acting like some of the “manly men” that watch on TV or in movies. For some of the younger boys, they are brought to life, just by getting to play “tough” while being surrounded my men who passionately love Jesus and love them as well. There is no doubt that through our counselors these boys interact with Godly men of all shapes, sizes and giftings. But in this one game, Gladiator Games, they get to let their testosterone run thick and they get to play hard. Man it’s fun to watch…

VLOG: Guerilla Warfare

Posted by phil

Another re-post of one of our “lost” VLOGs from the summer…

Many of you have heard me talk about this game…I love it. One of the reasons I love this game so much is because of the ridiculous preparation it requires. It takes our staff over 60 hours to prepare for this game that lasts 1 hour. We blow up about 20,000 water balloons for our campers. We have over 20 fifty-five gallon trash cans crammed full of water balloons. We actually have 2 water balloon filling contraptions that we have built to prep for this game, allowing us to fill 10 balloons at one time. Like I said, I love this game. If you like water balloon fights, you’ll love Guerrilla Warfare…. watch this….

VLOG: Fireworks Show

Posted by phil

We are back, still loading some of the “lost” VLOGS from the summer….

This was one of my favorite nights this past summer. Black Mountain put on a massive fireworks show for the entire town. It was beautiful. We thought that this was a perfect opportunity for our campers to get to experience a massive and professional fireworks display. Our folks loved it. Watch this!

VLOG: Bedlam Ball

Posted by phil

Once again, we are still putting “lost” VLOGs back up on our Blog every few days.

Check out this short video from one of our favorite games here at Camp Ridgecrest, Bedlam Ball. It’s every boys dream really, about 100 over-sized inflatable balls in one pile staring you in the face, almost taunting you. And on top of that, you have permission to jump right in that pile and play…. Watch this short clip….

VLOG: This Land is My Land

Posted by phil

Unfortunately, all of our VLOG’s from this summer were mysteriously deleted when moving to our new website. So, in an effort to preserve history, we plan to re-post all the VLOGS from the summer. Starting with this one….

This Land Is My Land! A new game created by our Program Director and now Intern Matt Stapp. It’s very creative and involves all the things our campers love. Watch this short video if you haven’t already!

High Five Etiquette

Posted by phil

Boys learn a lot of things here at Camp Ridgecrest. One of those things is how to properly administer a “high five.” Thanks to the friends of camp,  “Trip and Tyler” for this hilarious idea!
