Gladiator Night

We love letting boys be boys, and in the meantime feel like men. In a society where kids just have to grow up too fast, we pride ourselves on giving kids the chance to remain kids and have a blast! But just for fun, we also love giving them the chance to let their testosterone run wild and play hard in a safe environment! They love it…check it out…

VLOG: Last Big Game of the Summer

We decided to go out strong here at Camp Ridgecrest with a huge game of Guerrilla Warfare! As some of you know, this is the game where we, the staff, spend 3 days filling up water balloons. We finish with around twenty-two 55 gallon trash cans filled with water balloons. That’s roughly 18,000 water balloons for this one game! It’s just awesome! Check it out, they had a blast…

VLOG: A Rediculous Western Breakfast

So this morning wasn’t your average morning at Camp Ridgecrest for Boys. No waiters were called, Morning Assembly had a different twist, Spilman looked a bit different and had a bit more energy in the air. The food was served by the central staff as the “Cheese Grits Cart” made it’s rounds around the dining hall…refilling any empty plates. And of course the milk slingshot made another appearance. It’s a full day, and we’re just getting started…

The day continued with Sockwar, Skills, and of course a massive Carnival tonight! Check out these clips from Breakfast!

VLOG: Bedlam is a good thing this time!

Perhaps our simplest game, but also one of the most fun! It’s straight forward, and that’s the beauty of it… Just get as many balls into other team’s goals as possible… and don’t let anyone score on your goal. Throw in about 300 people and about 100 over-sized balls, and you get Camp Ridgecrest’s Original Bedlam Ball! It’s just plain fun…watch this!

VLOG: Gold Rush – one of their favorites!

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!)

VLOG: Campwide Clue

Remember the board game Clue? Who did it, with what, in what room, and what was the motive? To set the stage, all the campers find out that our fearless leader, Ron, was struck down…but who done it? It’s quite a scene seeing all the ridiculous characters (staff dressed up) and their body guards standing around Ron. The campers are broken up into teams with all the ages mixed together. They then work their way around camp in teams, asking the characters (suspects) questions about the evening. Then each team turns in their best guess about what actually happened on the evening of the crime. The night concludes with the story (the answers) unfolding in a skit right before their eyes. The team with the most correct answers in the shortest time is the winner. Overall, it’s a hilarious night and usually unlike anything they have ever experienced! Check out these clips from the game!

Guerilla Warfare VLOG – Massive Water Balloon Battle

One thing that I love about camp… We will spend 3 days filling up water balloons for a game that lasts less than an hour. We used about 22 fifty-five gallon trash cans, over 17,000 water balloons, about 12 fill stations, 75 staff, and 220 campers…. for without a doubt the largest water balloon battle they will ever experience… cars driving by are forced to stop just to watch for a few minutes…. It’s an awesome experience…only at Camp Ridgecrest!

VLOG: Star Search

Hey folks! Welcome to the first Camp Ridgecrest VLOG of Summer 2011! We has some rain roll in on us last night, so we had a big ol’ time in Spilman Lodge doing Star Search. Spilman is the largest upright log structure east of the Mississippi and a perfect setting for these skits. Check out these short clips to give you just a taste of what last night was like….
