Itinerary:

Note that this event may be cancelled if Paintball Action Games is closed due to weather. If that happens, I will try to rebook an indoor place for the same time, but it can't be guaranteed.

I know it's getting cold, but paintball is a very aerobic exercise, and with full length coveralls, you will likely get hot!

Paintballs were originally invented in the 50s for the forestry service to mark trees. It wasn't till the mid 70s when someone thought of the concept it is today to bring out the predator and prey in all of us!

Paintball Action Games offers 7 different paintball fields each requiring unique strategies to tag your opponents.

You can choose your own package depending on how many paintballs you want:
$30 - 200 paintballs
$35 - 300 paintballs
$45 - 500 paintballs
Additional paintballs can be purchased on-site. Outside paintballs are NOT allowed.

Long sleeve full body overalls will be provided with the cost of rental. However, it is recommended you wear gloves. Choose your shoes wisely as well since the play fields will be on all manner of terrain. Paints are vegetable oil or gelatin based, and should washout, but I wouldn't suggest donning your Sunday best. I also recommend layers. Even if it's cold, running around in coveralls gets pretty warm. We play rain or shine or snow!

Important: For those not familiar with paintball, some of the hits you take *will* hurt, and you may get bruised. Impact of the rounds hurt even if you're wearing the coveralls. The back of your head will not be protected by the mask. So if you are concerned, DO NOT SIGN UP. Therefore, I have put 'moderate' as the difficulty.

Please allow yourself adequate time to find the Paintball Action Games facility and take their phone number with you in case you need last minute directions (780 469 0882). When we arrive, we will start with a safety demo and instruction by the staff before we begin.

Due to construction taking away the best southside carpool locations, we will not have a carpool. If you need a ride, or can offer a ride, please go to the FORUM thread for this event.
