Say “Hello” to the 2011 Chickasaw Village Director

Jessica Crosby, also most commonly known as “Crosby”,  has been at camp for three years.  First as a JET, and then the following year as a counselor. She holds a dear place in her heart for Crestridge, and she can’t wait for this summer when she will lead as the Village Director for, in her words… “the best village,  the Chickasaws!” Crosby is  currently studying at the University of South Carolina . She is most looking forward to camp-wide and village activities and getting to spend time with all her amazing campers! Keep Jessica in your prayers as she finishes up classes this semester, and prepares to come serve her campers and staff this summer!

Here is the much awaited blog about our clothing for this summer!  Hopefully your parents have received a Pre-Order form for clothing.  If you pre-order the clothing, you’ll be guaranteed the size you need.  We added a few new items such as a journal, watches, and stationary.  Here’s a look at what we’ll have in the Crestridge Store:

There are a few things that are not shown which were sold last year- the Clear Nalgene, Spring Green Nalgene, CC4G Sticker, and the Ridgecrest Summer Camps Window Decal.  Those are listed on the Pre-Order form though.

We hope you like what you see!

Take a Break

A couple weeks ago, we took a trip out to the Pigeon River in Tennessee to test out a Canopy Tour.  It was great to be outside again and experience something new.  We wanted to give you an idea of what is involved in a Canopy Tour in case you’ve never done it before.  It was definitely worth the trip!

January Secret Assignment Winner

It has been busy the past month here at camp! Camp conferences, traveling and recruiting new staff, designing and choosing new camp attire…there’s tons of exciting camp preparations going on. In the midst of it all, we  loved watching your video entries for the January secret assignment. We asked you gals to submit videos of you and random friends singing your favorite song or cheer in a public place. The decision has been made, and we picked our winner.

The Knowles and the Myers bring  Crestridge pride to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, shouting ” Pride of the South” for all to hear! They sound great!

Some very honorable mentions are Kierstin Haddock also singing “Pride of the South ” with two very awesome guys from her campus ministry. Way to step up dudes and represent the ladies with no shame.

We have enjoyed doing all the secret assignments the past few months, and really liked getting to see all of you bring camp into your everyday lives! As  it gets closer and closer to summer (it’s already about March! Can you believe it?)..we will have new and fun videos  and information to give you to get you pumped and ready for camp! It’s getting closer, so get excited!

With that in mind, we want you to go out into the world and share your camp spirit. This month, the winners will be the people who can send us pictures and videos of themselves doing a song or cheer in a public place. We chose the Biltmore Estate, where will you go?

Reminiscing…

After Christmas, about 25 Camp Crestridge Staff got together at camp to reminisce about the summer of 2010.  The reunion involved going to Fun Depot, playing in the snow, eating some good food, playing games, laughing, remembering what God did in our lives through camp and remembering all the fun we had with our campers.  It was a great time to be together.  Thanks to all you staff who came!

Merry Christmas from the Camps

We know that every family has their own set of traditions, so we wanted to share some camp Christmas traditions. Most of you know all about our summer traditions, but what if camp had traditions in the off-season? You are being shown a never-before-seen look into our reading of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas”. We would enjoy hearing what some of your family traditions are. You can share them by commenting here, or you can write on our facebook wall (http://www.facebook.com/CampCrestridge ). From all of us here at camp, have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.

December’s Secret Assignment

It’s that time again! That’s right folks, December’s Secret Assignment is here and we have made things a bit more challenging than they have been in the past.
