PAINTBALL PROGRAM

PAINTBALL is a non-stop action-packed activity!  Paintball Games are best described as a combination of “tag” and “hide & seek”.  Whether you’re “attacking” the opponent or being “hunted” by the “enemy'', the thrill and excitement will get your adrenaline pumping!

ACTIVITY PROGRAM
Paintball Games are scheduled every day at Camp Cayuga.  The activity length is about 2 hours.  That’s enough time for you and your friends to play 3 or 4 games.  If you enjoy competition, you can sign-up to participate in Cayuga's Annual Intercamp Championship Paintball Game.  It's a lot of fun!  You'll play against kids from other nearby camps.  One tournament is scheduled in July & the other in August.  Paintball Games are voluntary and not included in the tuition.  Advance registration is required.  The Paintball Registration Form and Release Form can be retrieved off the "Camp Forms" webpage or click here.  This optional program incurs an additional charge.

FACILITIES & EQUIPMENT
Cayuga’s large playing field is reserved exclusively for Paintball Games.  The area has been specifically designed to insure each game is challenging and fun.  The Paintball Area is secluded and includes open fields, rolling hills, trees, natural obstacles, bunkers, and several man-made obstacles too.  You’ll be given a “pump” style marker.  That’s the paintball gun.  It’s a semi-automatic gun so you don’t have to reload every time you shoot.  You’ll also be given a face shield (for safety purposes), and enough paintball pellets (about 300 or more) to have a blast!

PAINTBALL PELLETS
We use paintball pellets that are small, water-soluble, non-toxic, biodegradable, and won’t irritate your skin.  They do not stain and easily wash out of your clothes.  Paintball pellets are designed to break-open upon impact.  It feels like getting hit with a tennis ball.

INSTRUCTION
You’ll learn a lot from a Paintball Game - like planning strategies, developing teamwork, and learning what it takes to “survive” a Paintball Game!  It also promotes good sportsmanship & camaraderie among its players!  You know, there are many valuable “lifelong lessons” you can learn from a Paintball Game.  But that’s not why this adrenaline-pumping activity is so popular.  The real reason simply is because IT’S INCREDIBLY FUN FROM BEGINNING TO END.

STAFF & SAFETY
Cayuga follows the same safety guidelines set forth by Commercial Paintball Areas.  Safety rules and regulations are reviewed before each game and safety equipment is worn at all times.  Safety is #1 at Camp Cayuga.  The Paintball instructors are mature qualified adults who fulfill the roles of team coaches and game referees.  They are trained, evaluated, and qualified by Cayuga's Program Director.
