One of our Camper’s favorite games is known as Gold Rush. Check out this sneak peak into the action! Good times, even in the rain! This high energy game was followed by Ridgecrest Cinema in Spilman Lodge. A nice relaxing end to a hectic and really fun day!
Hey folks! Welcome to the first Camp Ridgecrest VLOG of Summer 2011! We has some rain roll in on us last night, so we had a big ol’ time in Spilman Lodge doing Star Search. Spilman is the largest upright log structure east of the Mississippi and a perfect setting for these skits. Check out these short clips to give you just a taste of what last night was like….

Some of you might love video games. Some of you might not. Either way, you are sure to like this Sockwar intro to the Sockout theme from 2010. Pretty creative. Enjoy it…
It’s time for another look back at the Sockwars from this summer. The first 2010 Sockwar was a beauty. If you couldn’t guess from the title, this is a play on the hit movie Avatar…but honestly, much better. Enjoy this short look back at Camp Ridgecrest from the summer 2010. Another great video by Matt Stapp.
So, many of you were not here for this Sockwar, so we wanted to give you a taste of what you missed. For those of you that were here, sit back and remember this, one of your favorite events from this past summer at Camp Ridgecrest! Enjoy….

So, now that you are all home and back into the school year routine, we wanted to remind you of one reason why we love our Director Ron. After completing his 35th summer, some of his secrets to success were uncovered in this short video. Thanks to Matt Stapp for creating one of the most ridiculous videos Camp Ridgecrest has seen. And thanks to Ron for sharing his mad dance moves… Enjoy!
Wow, camp is quiet without all of you here… While Camp is recovering and preparing for your return, here are 3 things to know….
Gold Rush is one of their favorite games we play here at Camp Ridgecrest! It may look like the famous Sockwar, but it’s quite different. There are 3 teams for Gold Rush, and the object is to collect as much Gold hidden all around camp as possible and take it safely to the bank. You can also get points for hitting members of a different team with your sock that is filled with sawdust. Plus, you want to gain control of as many bases around camp as possible. Lots of ways to get points, lots of ways to help your team, and lots of ways to have fun! All this, plus our staff dressed up like they lived in the Wild West, makes for quite a game. Check out this short clip of your campers playing Gold Rush!
So for the past few days, campers at Camp Ridgecrest have had the chance to experience some pretty incredible activities. Saturday morning started off with a Sockwar – perhaps the most popular activity at camp. That evening Crestridge came over for Carnival…where we bring the carnival to camp! We have about 10 rides, snow cones, cotton candy, a dunking booth, tons of games, food, and more. As if that wasn’t enough, Sunday night rounded out the weekend with Council Ring. This is a special time where campers get to do something that they can’t experience anywhere else. Check out this video to see what I’m talking about…
So, water balloons aren’t a new thing. But what happens when you give a group of kids well over 13,000 water balloons. After the game was finished, our second count of balloons estimated closer to 15,000 water balloons….all for one game here at Camp Ridgecrest! I guarantee that this is a game that they won’t experience anywhere else… Check out this short video of the game we call Guerilla Warfare.
