Current Entry: Ball Blast
This improvised Winter Camp XXI game was named by Doug Wilson. Steve Donohue's precamp purchase of a 40" inflatable rubber ball for use in the Area 51 role-playing game proved to be more than just a tangential addition to camp. As the game evolved and more players joined, it eventually became a match between two teams who batted the ball back and forth across the new fence separating the Beaver Creek campsite from Ranch Road. Ball Blast combined elements of dodgeball, kickball, and volleyball into a new athletic experience. The team based on Ranch Road made it a point to try and kick the ball onto the roof of the BC building; Brian Mann succeeded four times in succession after deducing that kicking the ball through the open gate would be easier than trying to boot it over the fence.
