  Since 1929, Ridgecrest Summer Camps have impacted the lives of boys and girls during a 2-month summer program. Now, it is my responsibility to expand camp's outreach to make it year-around. In the Fall of 2013, Ridgecrest hosted its first ever Family Camp, as well as Mother & Daughter Camp and Father & Son Camp. It is my responsibility to coordinate, plan, market and staff these events. Our vision is to continue to see Ridgecrest's mission statement of: "Impacting Lives for God's glory through discipleship and adventure" be communicated and carried out in as many ways and to as many families as possible.
