Join us for a fun day of Paintball at Warzone Paintball in Saunderstown, RI where they will provide all the necessary gear (gun, fog-resistance thermal mask, protective vest and ammo belt) and 500 paintballs. When we arrive players collect rental gear and everyone gets a safety briefing that covers the rules and how the equipment works. Then you head over to your staging area (picnic tables) and set up for the day. Once you we ready, our assigned referee(s) will take you out to one of our 9 fields and you'll play two games. So, for instance, maybe you head over to Hill Fort and play Attack-and-Defend. First game, the Red Team attacks and the Blue Team defends. Then you switch sides (Blue attacks, Red defends) and play again. Each game may last anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes. After that we'll return to staging, reload, get air, maybe grab some water, lunch break and then you are back off to the field. We'll play between 6 and 8 games during our stay. Each game may have different rules, objectives, duration and may be played on a different part of the field.

Action stance - We teach students to be balanced on their bikes in an athletic, agile position allowing them to respond to terrain changes
Braking – Starting from a walk, we guide students through a progression demonstrating how to use disc brakes to control their speed.
Cornering correctly – Using small, banked turns, students learn to keep their body upright while leaning the bike into the turn.
Developing a solid foundation, we can progress from our learning area to our pump track and then onto the mountain.
Experience the downhill trails – Students find their comfort zone and expand at a pace that works for them. Most explore the mountain on our beginner trails their first visit.
We'll eat lunch and then in the afternoon campers can enjoy ziplining and synthetic snow tubing down the mountain.
