See the New Camp Ridgecrest Infirmary
January 29th, 2009
It almost looks like this building was meant to be there! The new Camp Ridgecrest Infirmary went up fast! Although there is still some work to be done, the framing, windows, doors, showers and roof are all close to be completed! The first picture below was taken on a Friday, the first day the framing crew began. The following picture was taken on a Wednesday afternoon. That’s pretty fast…Not too shabby!
For you Frisbee Golf fans, notice the Tee Box can still be in the same place. The hole won’t be changed! We’ve gotten a lot of questions about this…a big issue for some of us Frisbee Golf regulars…
We felt like it was fitting to place the new Camp Ridgecrest Infirmary in the place of the first home ever built in Ridgecrest, right near Rogers Retreat. We’ll update these picture soon with some shots of the inside, some of the green metal roof, and some of the view from the front porch. Enjoy!

I was really hoping for another in-ground trampoline. Ron, why can’t we have a trampoline!!!!!?

That really looks like a beautiful facility. I can’t wait to get to pre-camp and move everything in.

Caleb, no worries, the new nurses station is actually built on a trampoline…perfect for sick campers!

Are you going to sound proof the walls? Nancy really snores.

Actually yes! Each of the nurses bedrooms will have insulation in the interior and exterior walls to keep the heat in and some of those other sounds out! I think that you will love it. They put the metal roof on this weekend…

I think Beth and Sinda want to know if you left a hole big enough for the rats to come in. Beth will surely miss those little guys.

What a great addition to camp! What is the fate of the old infirmary? Dozer? or better yet International Pistol Range — which is actually fitting since it is next to the rifle range…my vote, pistol range. And we can train the security guards during the off season.

It’s really nice, but I will miss the Harry Potter type dorm rats and all
