We are adventurers, explorers, campers, dreamers, travelers.
We love to adventure together. Our hope is to inspire other families to do the same.
Our 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 love our mitten state.
We met when we were just 19 and 20. We decided to make it forever in 2005. We both enjoy the great outdoors and soak it up every change we get.
Ethan is 9, Nolan is 8, and Greyson is 1. Our boys love Baseball, Football, and everything Michigan State. Like us, they truly enjoy being outside whenever they can and escaping on every free weekend. They don’t mind skipping school to make that happen.
Our Gear
2014 GMC Sierra Z71
2011 Jayco Jay Flight 26BH Travel Trailer- This Jayco has undergone an extensive renovation project. Check it out on the blog!
We started camping with the bare essentials, a tent and sleeping bags were all we had on our first trip together. Our gear grew over the years, and so has our family.
Though we tend to live life with a minimalist approach, we love our tiny home on wheels.
The Idea
The Ball Camp started as a place to organize our travels and remember where we’ve been. It’s our place to share campground reviews, what we’ve learned camping with kids, packing for a family, and other experiences.
We share the idea that camping is not what you camp in. Whether you are a “glamper”, a hard core camper, or an RV lover- Come on in. We all have a shared interest- love for the great outdoors. Camping isn’t what you camp in, but the family time shared and moments created.
This place is a little peek into our adventuring, exploring, DIY, learning as we go lives. We hope it inspires you to plan an adventure or a project and have fun. Come on in, drink some coffee and stay a while.
