    campmonkey replied to JaClasse's topic in Camp

    Our campers also play "gaga ball". Our camp is not in session yet but last year I had quite a large number of foot injuries from kids playing without their shoes on but no knuckle injuries. Our campers play on grass or grass/mud last summer with all ...
