Paintball Battle
3 p.m. | DBS Indoor Arena | Members $38, Non-Members $42
 Come to this epic battle of paintball with friends and coworkers! Paintball is a fast-paced game of strategy, excitement and fun! You will be divided into teams and play a variety of games including storm the castle, capture the flag, and old fashion elimination. This is the perfect opportunity to claim bragging rights between your coworkers and friends!
We will be using "low impact" paintballs that are used with children's games. Don't let the thought "this would hurt too much" discourage you from attending!
We recommend: Bring a change of clothes for the way home! It is easier to wash your clothes (yes it does wash out) than it is to clean out your car! Please read more about what to expect on the DBS website!
