Building character one flop at a time
Who likes to fail? Probably not your campers. Or your counselors. But what happens when they do? Do they know how to approach it with curiosity and self-compassion? Do they problem solve and try again?
When introducing playful skills like Flop Ball, flower sticks, and chatter ring, we focus on what you can’t do, yet. The players want to pick up and try again because it’s a fun kind of challenging. They begin to help each other and collaborate on partner challenges.
Whether you use it for cabin time, afternoon programming, or on-the-go gap programming , kinetic play builds connection, community, and character at camp.

“A phenomenal Flop Ball team building training with our summer camp staff for our three North Carolina 4-H Camps & Centers! It was honestly the highlight of our entire training day!”
