Recreation Activities | Outdoor Activities | Nature Studies
The following outdoor activities can be run by a staff member or led by a group member. We still look at these activities through the lens of outdoor education and team building. We often call these activities "games with a purpose."
*All activities are designed to take place within a one-hour rotation.
Ga-Ga Ball/Epic Ball
Dodgeball and foursquare meet to form one of Camp’s most popular activities, Ga-Ga Ball (or as it is referred to at Camp, Epic Ball). Participants gather inside our octagonal Ga-Ga/Epic Ball pit and use their hands to try to knock out other participants by bouncing a rubber kick ball off of their legs.
