Spikeball is a new sport that's sweeping the nation. It is described as a combination of volleyball and four-square. It is played 2 vs 2, with a taut hula hoop sized Spikeball net placed between the teams.  They have up to three hits between them (just like Volleyball) to control the ball and bounce it back off the net.

Coed

Camp Merrywood is a terrific spot for summer camp.  My children not only went to camp there and loved it, but eventually worked as a lifeguard and counselor because they wanted to give back to a place where they had so many happy moments and memories. Thanks to the excellent staff and leadership for everything they do to make the kids summers so pleasant!!
