PAINTBALL IN THE POCONOS
Saturday, November 29, 2008
Skirmish USA, Rt. 93, Jim Thorpe, PA 1-800-754-7647

Paintball is an advanced form of "Capture the Flag". Each player has a
marker, which fires paintballs. When you are "marked" by a paintball, you
are out for the rest of that game. Usually, about 8 games are played
during a day. This is an all-day, outdoor event. Does it hurt? When
properly dressed, it hurts no more than being hit by a tennis ball or ping
pong ball.
This event is limited to the first 40 people to sign up. People from
churches in NJ and PA are also being invited. Feel free to invite your
friends and loved-ones!
Bring a change of clothing, bag lunch and drinks, if desired.
A clean rag or two is usually helpful, as well as knee pads and a knit hat.
Hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and soda are available at the on-site snack bar.
