The Sun is Shining!

Posted by Karah

That’s right you guys, the snow has finally melted away here at camp and spring has arrived. Walking around Crestridge is so nice because the sun is shining, the grass is green, and the creek is just a flowing. We are so excited about Springtime because that means summer is coming soon! Here are a few pictures of camp without snow:

We can hardly wait to for the summertime! Oh, and check back soon to see pictures of Crestridge’s 2010 Clothing.

Construction Update

Posted by Karah

The sun is shining and camp is finally free of the snow! Don’t get us wrong the winter is a great part of our year, but spring will be arriving soon, and that means summer time is right around the corner. The construction crews are getting busy trying install the rest of the showers and toilets, and things are coming along quickly. All Chippewa cabins have their sinks, showers, and toilets installed, the majority of the Chickasaw cabins do as well. Here’s a couple of shots of these brand new editions:

Be looking for your Crestridge Bear Tracks newsletter, coming in the mail next week. And be sure to comment and enjoy the spring weather!

Some “Office” Fun

Posted by Sharon

Before I get into the “office” fun, Phil and I had the opportunity to go out to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area for a couple days to take care of camp business. While we were out there, we got to have dinner with Abby Postma. Abby has been our Videographer for the past 3 summers and also our Intern last year. It was so great to catch up with her and hear what she’s been up to since camp ended. We are praying she’ll be able to return again this summer!

Despite what some of you may think, we have a lot of work to do throughout the year to get ready for the summer. Most of the time we are very busy, but we do take advantage of the amusing things here in the office. Each day, we have at least two dogs in the office, Boone (Phil Berry’s dog) and OJ (Sharon’s dog). Some days, we have an extra visitor, Ezra (Chris Maslin’s dog). We had a few extra sunglasses lying around and wondered what they would like with them on.

Oh the things we will do for a good laugh!

Construction Keeps Moving Forward

Posted by Karah

Our construction crews are steadily moving forward and making some major progress on the cabin renovations. The Cherokee cabins all have new walls and ceilings that look absolutely amazing. Having two toilets and two showers in every cabin sure will make things easier then back in the days when the whole Choctaw Village had to share one Bath House. The crews have also started to install the showers into the Chippewa and Chickasaw cabins; changes are happening so quickly! Check out some of the shots of the improvements as well as the saved names section in Cherokee 4.

Hope you’re getting as excited about camp as we are, and remember to comment and let us know what you think!

Samford Staffers Sing for You

Posted by Karah

This past week I was able to travel throughout Mississippi and Alabama in order to recruit some amazing college students to serve on staff for the upcoming summer. I made stops at Auburn University, Mississippi College, Mississippi State, Samford University, and the University of North Alabama. Not only did I get to meet some really great people who were interested in camp, but I was also able to reunite and visit with some of our staff from previous summers. While at Samford we decided to celebrate the time together by enjoying 2 of Crestridge’s favorite pastimes: eating ice cream and singing camp songs while standing on chairs. Lauren Lunceford, Leanna Cannafax, Brooke Crutchfield, Laura Edwards, Keaghan Glassmyer, Jenn Debrecht, and Taylor Pierce show their Crestridge pride as they sing Kitty Kitty Kitty for all of you.

Join in the fun at home by sharing your favorite camp song with your friends and family in true Crestridge fashion!

Pick Your Favorite Hat

Posted by Sharon

Hey all you Crestridgers, we need your help! Every summer we try and come up with some awesome t-shirts, sweatpants, jackets, waterbottles, and other items that you can purchase at the Camp Store. We love seeing you girls show camp spirit all year round! Well, this year we want your input. We are trying to choose a hat for this upcoming summer and have narrowed the field down to 3 choices.

Option 1- This hat is a more of a street-savvy style that you all can most definitely rock (please know that the UCLA will be replaced with Crestridge):

Option 2- A fun neon version of the Trucker Hat:

Option 3: A basic and simple, yet totally awesome hat:

Let us know which one you like the best. Also, if you have an idea of something you would like to see in Crestridge Store- tell us! We can’t wait to hear what you think!

Another Snowy Day in Ridgecrest

Posted by Sharon

Once again Jack Frost himself has covered our lovely camp with white snow. This time we received about 6 inches of the white fluffy stuff and are truly enjoying it to the fullest. Here are some pictures of your home away from home covered in snow:

Also, even through the cold winter days our construction crews are moving along with enthusiasm. All of the Cheyenne and Choctaw cabins have their siding up, and the Cherokee cabins are getting their new inside walls. Cherokee 25 seems like a completely new building with a higher ceiling and open floor plans- these changes are so exciting! Here are a few pictures to show the updated construction with more to come soon.
