Do you want to get a free store…in the middle of the year?
Posted by SharonThat’s right, you can win a free store which will be delivered right to your house! Each month we are going to have a drawing for a free store. All you have to do is comment on one of our blogs. It could be any blog, even our very first one! We’ll put your name in a hat and at the end of the month draw a winner. If you are chosen, we’ll contact you, take your order, get it from the store and mail it to you!
We will do a drawing each month, so you’ll have to comment each month if you’d like to stay in the drawing. We’ll go all the way until camp starts, so you have 7 chances to win!
Although you won’t be getting the candy that’s in that glass case, I’m sure you’ll be just as excited as Tamora is in this picture!
So start commenting for your chance to win a free store!

Experiencing Asheville and its Surroundings
Posted by SharonEach session, our villages have the opportunity to take a trip out of camp. We’d love to show you just a few places they visited this summer.
Some that you did not see in the video include whitewater rafting on the Nantahala, tubing down Deep Creek, Sliding Rock, painting pottery, WNC Nature Center, ice skating, Upper and Lower Creek Falls, and more. It’s always a fun and exciting time at Camp Crestridge!

Chips/Chicks…Check, Cherokees…Check
Posted by SharonI’ll tell you what, those construction workers are fast! They have now finished the first phase on Cherokee Hill and started with the Choctaw Hill. It was quite a sight to see all four cabins with no roofs and no bathrooms. Again, it was confirmation that they really needed some work done!
They are now on Choctaw Hill removing the old roofs, the back walls, and the bathrooms. I’ll post pictures soon. I hope you all are enjoying the fall season. Can’t believe it’s already November, but we are looking forward to the holidays!

Fully Covered Decks
Posted by SharonIt seems that soon after we give an update, a lot more gets finished the next day. As of now, all the Chippewa and Chickasaw cabins have new roofs, new decks, and the new bathrooms framed. They are looking great! The decks are fully covered which makes them look even bigger. They have put the new showers in the cabins and also started on the plumbing in Chippewa 1. Check out the new pictures:
I’m not sure if you can notice any of the leaves in the background, but they sure are beautiful. I think the color is almost at it’s peak. It’s a great time to be in the mountains!

Moving Right along
Posted by SharonAlmost two weeks ago, I informed you of the cabin renovations that had just started. Well today, they are working on their 6th possibly 7th cabin (Chip 1, 2, 3, Chick 4, 8, and 9). The construction crew has not completely finished one cabin, but they have started putting the new roof on and framed the new bathrooms. Take a look at the progress so far:
With taking out the roofs and bathrooms, there is a lot of trash. It’s pretty funny to see all the toilets, showers and sinks all piled up around the Dining Hall.
When the crew gets to the Cheyenne and Choctaw cabins, they will extend the cabins. They’ve already cleared a few trees and poured the footers for the extensions.
If you are interested in seeing more pictures, we have a Facebook Fan page that has an album designated for Cabin Renovation pictures. Keep checking weekly for more updates on construction and other things going on at camp!
