My two children attended Ridgecrest and Crestridge (for girls) camp as small children. All I can say is "WOW!" they both had wonderful experiences. The first year I dropped these two little kids off and I thought they would be so homesick etc. After two weeks, I picked them up and their comment to me was, "Mom, this wasn't long enough! can we please stay longer!!"

A truly wonderful Christian summer camp. I was a single mom and worried about the rejection my children felt from their absentee father. Ridgecrest placed my children with counselors that had been through the same thing and had an understanding for my children. Through these counselor's ministry, love, and devotion all rolled into fun, fun, fun, I have to say Ridgcrest was a high point in my children's lives.

My children are now 21 and 18 years old. One is attending college to become a nurse and one will be attending college in the fall to become a minister. Thanks Ridgecrest/Crestridge! I will never be able to repay you for giving my children this wonderful start!
