Ladder Ball:

Ladder Ball is a homemade game we discovered in 2002. A friend of Bridgett's introduced her to it while camping and then sketched the plans on a piece of paper for us. It is played similar to horseshoes, washers, or lawn darts and is a ton of fun.

The game is played with 2 or more players or teams. Each player has 3 bolos. A bolo is constructed with 2 golf balls attached together by a nylon rope. The object of the game is to wrap your bolos around the rungs of the ladder. The ladder is vertical and consists of 3 horizontal rungs. Each rung is worth a number of points and the games is played to exactly 21. Below you will find a link to our plans for the game as well as the "un-official" rules. If you have any questions about the game feel free to contact us.

Washers:

Washers is another fun game similar to Horseshoes, in which individuals or teams compete against one another in an effort to be the first to reach a winning score of 11, 17 or 21 points. The game consists of two washer pits located opposite one another. Players stand at one pit and throw washers toward the other pit. When you get a washer in the pit you score a point.

Bocce Ball:

Bocce Ball or Lawn Bowling is a great camping game. You can play with two to four players. Each player is given four balls and must take turns rolling the balls toward the pallino ball (a small white ball which has already been thrown onto the field). The players are given points for the balls thrown closest to the pallino and the winner is the first one to reach 13 points. It's a fun game and you can buy a set at your local walmart.

Bean Bag Toss:

The game is called many things; Some call it corn hole, corn toss, baggo, or the bean bag game, but whatever you call it, it's a lot of fun.
