In the mid-afternoon, after the first instrument session, but before the second is activity time, one of the activity options is the esteemed sport of Ga-Ga ball. It takes place in an octagonal pit lined with wood chips, and it is played with a dodge ball. The ball is rolled slowly, or lightly hit. If a player is hit on the knee or below, they are out. There is no holding the ball and there are automatic outs if the ball is hit outside of the pit. It's a game enjoyed at any age. Many campers enter. Only one camper wins.

Wikipedia says:
Ga-ga (lit. "touch-touch") is a variant of dodgeball. The game combines dodging, striking, running and jumping with the object of hitting opponents with a ball below the knee while avoiding being hit. The game can be played by groups of individual players, teams and in one-on-one matches. The game may sometimes be referred to as "Israeli dodge-ball". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ga-ga
