Johnnie Armstrong’s Campfire Message

Posted by Sharon

Johnnie Armstrong, former director for Camp Crestridge, has been with camp since the beginning, 1955. She has continued to return each summer during our third session. She spoke at campfire this past Tuesday and a camper asked if we could post her message online. You can click on the link below to access the message. The Lord has used and is continuing to use Johnnie in mighty ways. We are thankful for all she has done for Camp Crestridge!

Night of Chaos Vlog 2013

Posted by Sharon

The name says it all, “Night of Chaos”! This activity includes lots of water, shaving cream, hair gel, ping pong balls, squirt guns, footballs, and much more. The Green is truly chaotic during this activity! Unfortunately on this particular night, the activity was cut short due to a thunderstorm but the girls still enjoyed their time of Chaos!

Tuesday Traditions

Posted by Sharon

Every Tuesday night, each cabin builds a fire and cooks their dinner at their cabin. After dinner, they head to the campfire area to sing songs with Ron and hear a message from one of our staff. This night has it all – fun, laughter, singing, enjoying the peaceful sounds of nature, and precious time with our Lord!
