📣 Calling All Junior Leaders & Kids Camp Leaders!

To all of our Junior Leaders and hopefuls, we’ll be reaching out next week to finalize our leadership team and provide information to help you prepare for camp.

We want to let everyone know that we recently discovered an issue with our June Kids Camp registration system. When selecting the “pay in full” option, some families were incorrectly told that no spots were available.

Thankfully, this issue has now been fixed, and registration is open again for anyone still wanting to sign up for June Kids Camp!

Because this error was on our end, we will also be waiving all late registration fees for this camp.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we worked through this issue. We can’t wait for an incredible week of camp together!

There’s something special about being part of what God is doing at Camp Ridgedale—and you don’t have to commit to a full week of camp to be involved.

From helping with projects around camp to supporting events and camps, every role makes a difference.

It’s a chance to serve, connect with others, and enjoy being part of a place that impacts lives.

This Memorial Day, we remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

At Camp Ridgedale, we’re reminded how special it is to gather freely — to worship, laugh, learn, and build community together in a place surrounded by God’s creation. Those simple moments are freedoms that came at a great cost.

As families spend time outdoors, around campfires, at cookouts, and with loved ones this weekend, we encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect with gratitude for those who sacrificed everything for our nation.

Today, we remember their courage, honor their legacy, and thank the Lord for the freedoms and blessings we so often take for granted.

This summer at Camp Ridgedale, our June Kids Camp theme is Built on the Rock!🪨

Throughout the week, campers will explore what it means to build their lives on a strong foundation in Jesus Christ. In a world where so many things change, we want kids to discover that God’s truth, love, and promises remain steady and unshakable.

Through worship, Bible teaching, games, crafts, and activities, campers will be encouraged to grow in their faith, trust God in every season, and learn how to stand firm even when life feels uncertain.

Our hope is that every child leaves camp knowing they are deeply loved by God and that a life built on Christ is a foundation that lasts.

Due to the weather, the amount of rain we’ve already received, and more rain expected tomorrow, we have decided to postpone Park Day.

The event has been rescheduled to June 5 from 1:00 PM–3:00 PM.

While we’re disappointed to miss everyone tomorrow, we want to make sure we can gather safely and enjoy the day together. We can’t wait to see everyone on June 5th!
