Preparing for Opening Day

Posted by Ashley Genoble

The first Opening Day is only 37 days away!! Are you ready? How do you prepare for camp? The first Crestridge staffer arrives on Monday morning to start working! It’s getting real!

We would love to share some tips with you as you start thinking about Opening Day:

-Campers, ask your parents to fill out all the forms before camp! And, sign up for skills! You can sign up on Opening Day but you may find that some of the skills are already full.

-Start getting your trunk ready! Make sure you have the items listed on our packing list. If this is your first summer, check out our Packing for Camp video.

-Missing home is a very normal feeling and thing to experience. Get a journal (or pre-order one from our store) and make a plan to write down all the awesome memories so you can be sure to share them with your family when you get home.

-The clothing store is almost ready for pre-orders! Pick out some Crestridge gear to rep!

-Get ready for the changes to Opening Day! You’ll get shuttled up to Crestridge as soon as you park to check in at the Tennis Courts. If you come before, you’ll have to hang out at the Tennis Courts/Lower Green until we announce your village. You’ll walk up to your cabin with your village and your counselors! It’s not the Crestridge Stampede! Check-In closes at 12:30PM. Then we’ll get the session started with lunch in the Dining Hall at 1PM!

-Don’t have any expectations! Get ready to have the best summer ever!

If you have any questions about coming to camp this summer, let us know. We would love to make it as easy as possible for you! See you soon!
