The camp is divided into two teams made up of staff and campers. The
goal is to carry the ball down the field and score in the opposing basket (a
person on a chair with their arms in a circle) to get as many goals as
possible.
There are five balls in play, so it’s like there are five games going on at the same time. There are balls for each of guy camper, girl campers, guy staff, girl staff and an all ball. Each group concentrates on their ball and not running into people smaller than they are. SALTers (our leadership campers) join in with staff or can have their own ball. Often they want to tackle the staff. Widji ball is a tackle game except for TNT. It gets quite competitive as you can imagine.
