Overview
Overview
Blast marshmallows in cannons, hurl water balloons in trebuchets, and create epic projectile launching contraptions at Backyard Ballistics Camp – the ultimate hands-on Jr. Craftsman Camp.
Why Backyard Ballistics?
This camp turns your backyard into a battlefield of learning. Campers become craftsmen as they design, build, and fire their own water balloon launchers, soda pop rockets, giant slingshots, and so much more using everyday materials.
