Camp Ritter

Check out these FAQs!

What to pack

You’ll need your laptop, charger and headphones. You will have some downtime to check emails and return calls. Please don’t forget your ID badge for the building if you have one. If you forget your ID badge or do not have one – you’ll need to enter the building through the main entrance and let Robin know. We will be sending you home with a few goodies so make sure you have a little space left in your bags.

What to wear

Please make sure to adhere to the Ritter dress code throughout the week. The office can get chilly with the AC in the summer. Every day has some movement, so make sure you will be comfortable. Some activities at Carlisle Sports Emporium require closed toe shoes. Thursday we will do a group picture. If everyone could wear Blue, White, Black or Silver/Grey that would be awesome. Lastly, part of the closing party at the Historic Acres is outside. The ground is not level; be careful with shoe selection.

Camp Ritter Responsibility Attestation
To All Ritter Staff:

Camp Ritter is a time to learn, build relationships, and have a lot of fun. We want you to have a wonderful time. There will be lots of food, games, team building activities, and celebrations throughout the week. Alcoholic beverages will be available during after‑hours events only. There should be no drinking during the workday. We expect all employees to always behave professionally and drink responsibly.

All staff are expected to treat one another, our vendors, servers and wait staff, the general public, and all property with respect. This includes Ritter offices, hotel rooms, common areas, and any other facilities used during Camp Ritter. Any damage to property or inappropriate conduct may result in disciplinary action.

Regardless of whether you have several drinks or none at all, we expect appropriate behavior from all staff. Physical, verbal, or sexual harassment will never be tolerated. Ramifications of inappropriate behavior at company functions may include removal from the event or premises, disciplinary action, suspension, and/or termination of employment. If you witness or are a victim of any type of harassment, you must notify a member of the HR or executive team immediately.

We also want to ensure that all employees get home safely. Under NO circumstances should anyone drive while intoxicated. Uber codes will be available on the Camp Ritter website | camp.ritterim.com. If you plan to drink, please prepare a designated driver in advance. If you find yourself needing assistance securing a ride at any point, please see HR or a member of the executive team, and we will ensure you get home safely. There may be times we determine a ride is necessary even if you feel fine to drive—please respect that decision and accept the ride.

All of these situations can be avoided through responsible behavior.

You are valued members of our Ritter family, and we want this to be a positive, fun, and memorable experience for everyone. Please make smart choices. Have a great time, enjoy yourself—but do so responsibly.
