Congratulations to this month’s free Canteen winner, Thatcher Broyles! Thatcher will be having his Canteen choice, Cheerwine and a Fun dip, delivered straight to his door this week. Thatcher was a Shawnee last summer, and he will be moving up to the mighty Choctaw this year. He said his favorite thing about camp was Sock War, and his favorite staff member was his counselor Adam “Rambo” Smith! Thatcher is excited about coming back to camp this year to go on the Blob and for Horseback Skill!
So guys, remember to keep commenting on the blog. Every time you leave a comment your name goes into the drawing for a FREE CANTEEN! You could be the winner next month!
Here are the 4 secrets that I used on my travels to find the best staff around to work at Camp!
1. Drive a lot, as in 2,200 miles in 13 days across 4 states, to search for the coolest guys you can find.
2. Visit some awesome college campuses, feed a lot of people and tell them about camp!
3. Hang out with awesome staff who have worked with us before and feed them as well, they like food.
4. Praise God for Camp and how he blesses us year to year with the best staff in the country!
Those are just a few things that I learned as I traveled from Ridgecrest all the way to Orlando and back on my trip to recruit staff for the summer of 2010 and see some old staff along the way! You all need to be real excited about this summer, other than the fact of getting back for Sock War, Campfire, Council Ring, and Skills, but, also, because your staff is going to be AWESOME! I guarantee it. I can’t let you guys down when it comes to staff!
Be looking on the blog in the coming weeks for a list of the staff that are returning! I know you will be excited. I will leave you with some pictures from my trip!
It’s Seth, I have been on the road for the past week in the Commonwealth State (that’s Virginia, come on). I was able to go to Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, and Liberty University to recruit some staff for this summer. We only want the best staff, so we travel all over to find them! I may have even seen one of your counselors. On my trip I got to see: Eli White, Ken Brown, Jason Browning, and Sam Pineda. They told me to tell all of you hello through the Blog! Next week I leave to go on an 11 day trip to Florida, I hope it is sunny and warm down there. I want to get away from all this cold and snow! I will let you guys know where I am going so if I am near you, leave a comment and maybe I’ll see you around!
Seth’s Next Adventure:
2/9: Clemson, SC
2/10: Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL
2/11: UWF, Pensacola, FL
2/12: Back to Tallahassee for the night
2/14: Good News Church, St. Augustine, FL

Seth arrived at Camp Ridgecrest a week and a half ago. We’ve been excited about getting him on board as we prepare for the summer. You’ll hear more from him as the summer get’s closer!
So I am sure you all have read about the snow that has fallen here at camp over the last month, well it is STILL HERE! We went around and took some pictures of camp; fallen trees, deep snow, and the frozen lake! I am sure you have never seen camp like this before, don’t worry though, we will cut a hole in the ice for you to go swimming this summer, if it is still here!
Congratulations to Regan Pompeo, our newest winner of a Free Canteen delivered to his house!

We hope that you are as excited as we are for camp this summer. More news from camp soon….
Greetings from Ridgecrest Summer Camps! I hope you were able to read our last blog about the Snow Storm here at camp. By the time the snow ended, we had over a foot of snow! It was absolutely beautiful! Not much has melted so we are still enjoying the remnants.
Well, it’s Christmas time and we’d like to bring you another Norman Rockwell Christmas card. Thank you Wayne for your talent and inspiration.
We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
We woke up this morning to snow and it hasn’t stopped coming down! We probably have about 4 inches on the ground right now. Here are some pictures we took at about 10:30am.
We wish you guys were here to go sledding! Have a great Christmas break!
So you’ve maybe seen some Blob Footage in the past, but not quite like this! Here is a little Camp Ridgecrest Blobbing in Slo-Mo… Enjoy! Which blob is your favorite? Comment below…
