FRISBEE GOLF DISC COURSE-A very uniquely planned 9-hole Frisbee golf course which will challenge the casual or hopeful pro Frisbee golfer!

BASKETBALL COURT-Hoops are a favorite activity whether you choose shooting for the bucket by yourself or pick-up a team for some competitive action.

VOLLEYBALL COURT-Bump, set, and slam in the sand for some real action!

 

GAGA BALL-Ga-ga is a variant of dodgeball that is played in a ga-ga “pit”. The game combines dodging, striking, running, and jumping, with the objective of being the last person standing. This game became a new favorite in all of our camps when it was added in 2018.

NINE SQUARE-Nine Square is the newest addition to our many activities in our camping circle. The game is a variation of volleyball and four-square and is gaining popularity in recreation areas across the US. Come let us teach you this great addition to our many group games at Carmel!

We also do CRAFT ACTIVITIES, SEE-SAWS, FOUR SQUARE, and CORN HOLE BOARDS.

You never know when a game of SOCCER, FIELD HOCKEY, or SOFTBALL might become the activity of the day.

RAIN DAYS can even be fun in our newly opened recreational center that features pool tables, air hockey, ping pong tables, foosball, indoor basketball shot challenge, and tons of board games!
