Silly Songs….Crestridge Style!

You might be fooled and think you will be watching/listening to Larry the Cucumber from Veggie Tale’s when this video starts. But alas, this is not the case.  Some Cherokees from 2A 2011 would like to share with you their version of “Silly Songs with Crestridge”.  These Crestridgers give Larry a good run for his money!

Things You Can’t Do Away From Camp

Camp is a pretty awesome place.  So awesome, we sometimes wish that things that we only do at camp, we could actually do in “the real world”.  For example, cabin clean up.  I know every single one of you misses those chores you have to do every day and working with 9 other girls and your counselors to help keep that cabin sparkling clean! It can be  some quality bonding time. Okay, so maybe you don’t miss that so much (or maybe you do!)….Check out the video some of our 2011 staff made for some other things that we don’t normally get outside of camp, and probably miss a little more than cabin clean up!

2012 Theme Design

Are you getting excited about this summer yet?  It won’t be long till we have campers at camp again!  We’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about our theme for this summer.  We have finally made a decision and it is “The Well”.  The theme verse is John 7:38, “Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.” NLT

We are currently trying to think of a design for our theme.  We are having a little trouble so we’d like your help! From now until Friday, February 17th, we will be accepting submissions for the potential theme design.  The person who submits the best design will win $50 to our clothing store this summer.  We may even put that design on our theme shirt!  You can send submissions to rscamps@ridgecrestcamps.com.  Submissions can be drawn by hand, designed on a computer, etc.

We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Miniature Tanks

And so it continues….Miniature tanks.  The game that no one can really figure out. The game that for some reason we find entertaining.  The game that gives the participants a reason to crawl on their hands and knees.  The game that has been played on grass, slip ‘n’ slide, wood decks, and other surfaces. The game that makes participants look, honestly, quite funny.  The game that provides on-lookers a humorous picture.  This game is all of these things, and yet it lives on. Bring on Summer 2012!

These are a few of my favorite things!

This blog actually isn’t about MY favorite things, necessarily, though I do enjoy many of the activities mentioned! Here are what some of our 2011 starter camp campers and staff said their favorite things were….It seemed like waterfront activities seemed to win out in this clip! What are some of your favorite things?

Retro Friday: Go-Karts

Did you know that we had go-karts in camp a long time ago?  For a couple years, you could ride the go-karts as a skill.  The track was located in the riding ring by the barn.  How fun would that be!  You wouldn’t have to go to Fun Depot anymore if you wanted to ride the go-karts!   If you had a chance to ride the go-karts at Crestridge, we’d love to hear some stories!

Update on The Beehive Construction

Since the last update on the Beehive, things are still moving along quite nicely! We have had some rainy days, which doesn’t help the workers out a whole lot, but we have also had some beautiful days, too. I’m sure they are enjoying the warmer temperatures we have been having this week, though! Since our last construction blog, quite a bit has happened. The porch and railings are finished that surround the building. They have also finished putting the green metal roof on – and it looks great! The steps and the ramp up to the porch have been built, as well as the steps up to what will be the Crestridge Museum. The windows and doors have also been installed and look good! Currently the electrician is working inside so we can have some power in The Beehive. Things are going well. We are excited for everyone to see it in person, but until then, hopefully these pictures will give you an idea of what it’s looking like!
