★★★★★Tori RobbinsThe camp staff goes above and beyond for their campers. They make my son feel welcome, heard, and loved. He looks forward to summer camp every year now thanks to Camp Ridgedale! Highly recommend them to everyone I know!
★★★★★Dana BellamyOur daughter looks forward to Camp Ridgedale every summer! She loves the fellowship, the leaders, all the activities and the weekly field trips. She gets to learn so much and have fun all at the same time. We are so grateful for all the hard work and dedication that Ridgedale Baptist Church puts into this every year!!
★★★★★Stephanie BrumbaughOur boys have attended this camp for the past five summers, and this summer will be their sixth year - which says everything about how much our family loves it. It has all the best parts of a classic camp experience without being an overnight camp. The kids spend their days outside, active, engaged, and making memories instead of staring at screens. One of the things we appreciate most is that it’s a smaller camp, which creates such a warm, close-knit environment. Many of the kids come for all 10 weeks, so real friendships are built and the sense of community is special. The counselors are fun, energetic, and truly intentional with the kids, which gives us so much confidence as parents. Every year our boys come home tired, happy, and full of stories. We are so grateful for a camp that is wholesome, joyful, and centered on Christian values. Highly recommend!
★★★★★Carolyn DawsonWe absolutely love Camp Ridgedale! The staff truly care about forming impactful relationships with the campers, and make a positive influence in their lives. My kids look forward to camp every summer!
★★★★★Bonnie McKinneyMy child has attended this camp since she finished Kindergarten (she is in 9th grade) and now she is a counselor in training. She has loved every minute of it and looks forward to the summer because of camp all year long. She has built some incredible friendships and learned so much at this camp. The counselors work hard to make this a fun and interactive camp. I would highly recommend sending your child here!
