Tribes

Campers at Camp Ridgecrest are separated into in age divisions called "tribes". Each tribe has its own sleeping quarters. The tribes from youngest to oldest are as follows. Apache, Shawnee, Choctaw, Arapaho, and Sioux.

Tribe	Last Finished Grade	Age
Apache	Grades 1-3	7-9
Shawnee	Grades 4-5	10-11
Choctaw	Grades 6-7	12-13
Arapaho †	Grades 8-10	14-16
Sioux Trailblazers †	Grades 9-10	14-16

Campers are placed by grade first, then age. Some variation may occur based on the number of registered campers.

† If your child has completed the 9th or 10th grade he has the option to be part of the Arapaho tribe or the Sioux Trailblazers. The Arapaho is an in-camp tribe (as are the other tribes) while the Sioux Trailblazers is an out-of-camp tribe. For more information about the Sioux Trailblazers see Campouts & Trips.
