Adventure, Explore, Camp, Hike, Travel.
We love to adventure together. Our hope is to inspire other families to do the same.
Home Base
We are happy Michiganders to the core. We will point to a spot on our hand to show you where we live.
We met when we were just 19 and 20. We decided to make it forever in 2005. We both enjoy the great outdoors. We take our boys and the cameras on the road every chance we get. Ian works in IT and Jamie is a photographer and videographer.
Our boys are 13, 11, and 5. They love Basketball, Baseball, Football, Hockey- all the sports. Like us, they truly enjoy being outside and escaping on every free weekend.
Gear
GMC Sierra Z71
2019 Crossroads Zinger 328SB- For Sale! See Specs sheet here: The Ball Camp Crossroads Zinger Sale
We started camping with the bare essentials. A tent from our local grocery store and sleeping bags were all we had on our first trip together.
We upgraded to a camper when our big boys were little, then back to a tent during the pandemic, and finally this spring, we found our new home on wheels- a 2019 Crossroads Zinger 328SB.
Our gear has changed over the years, and our family has grown. We love a stripped-down adventure, a day trip, a sleep in the back of the car, or a week in a camper. No matter how you camp, we like to think it’s not about the gear, but what camping stands for- time in the great outdoors with those we love.
