GaGa Ball was the hit of the summer in 2010. Campers at other camps had been playing the game for years and years. As soon as the Camp Fontanelle staff learned of the game we started playing with campers. Survivor I Camp was the first camp to play in the summer of 2010 and destroyed the ball we played with. Knowing this game was a hit the staff made sure all the campers signed the ball and it is now on display above the “In” door for all to remember the first time GaGa Ball was played at Camp Fontanelle.

Camp Fontanelle has several 9-Square games set up around camp.  This is a fun game that combines the traditional 4-square game with volleyball.

With over 5 total miles of trails, hikers can enjoy the diverse plant and animal life at Camp Fontanelle.  Trails are mowed 5′ wide regularly.  Being along the Elkhorn River valley, terrain is often steep and not for the tenderfoot.  Buttermilk Creek, a small stream fed by springs, cuts across the camp.  Many deciduous trees including towering cottonwoods as well as beautiful firs, pine, and spruce trees on Christmas tree hill provide a perfect habitat for a variety of birds.  Animals inhabiting the woods include squirrels, rabbits, deer, raccoons, bobcats, opossums, coyotes, foxes, and ground hogs. Please contact the camp for permission prior to visiting to hike. Click to view a map of the trails at Fontanelle.

Our human Foosball is always a big hit at camp, and for our guest groups.

A 31’x65′ jumping pillow was installed in 2011 and a 2nd one in 2015.  Permanently installed in the ground and surrounded by 100 tons of sand, this heart pounding attraction is not for the faint of heart.  Enjoyed by kids and kids at heart of all ages, the jumping pillow is addictive.  While rough play and inverted flips are never allowed, a good time is guaranteed.  The jumping pillow is also available for overnight slumber parties on ‘the pillow’ with a clear country view of the night sky on a clear night.  The pillow is included in the price of a corn maze ticket during the corn maze season.  Adult supervision is required.  Fee for guest use.

In 2013 two 350′ zip lines were completed with the screams of delight heard echoing through the trees.  A person jumps off a 20′ tower and rides across a big ravine landing with a running stop on the other side.  The fun is not over because then the rider climbs another tower and zips back across the ravine back to the start!  Visiting groups can enjoy the zip line by reservation.  The zip line is available on weekends in the fall when the corn maze is open and by reservation.
