Join Us For Our Fall Teen Retreat!
In the past, the main way to enjoy CRYC at The Ridge was to attend a week-long session and that was only in the summer. Now we offer our campers to recharge with a one-weekend retreat on October 11-13. The retreat will feature the usual camp activities - fun games, high and low rope activities and more. The theme of the retreat and source for many of the Bible studies will be Colossians 3:2. The weekend is open to ages 13-18 and registration is $50.
