Ascend Camp and Retreat Center

Ascend Camp and Retreat Center runs an outdoor paintball arena designed for groups that want competitive gameplay with real stakes. You're eliminating opponents or capturing flags while your team coordinates—the kind of activity that either builds communication skills or exposes who panics under pressure.

• •1.5 hours of field access
• •Full paintball equipment and protective masks
• •100 paintballs per player
• •Rules training and safety briefing from staff
• •Up to 10 players for the base price

Additional players run $49.99 each. If you burn through your paintballs mid-game, 500 more cost $50.

• •Age & Safety: Minimum age is 12 years old. When people ask if paintball is dangerous—statistics show it's safer than golf, tennis, or swimming. Safety rules are non-negotiable here. Non-players can't watch from the field itself (for obvious reasons), but they can hang in the main camp area with a playground, gazebo, and free coffee.

• •Paintballs & Equipment: Ascend uses industry-standard paintballs that wash out of normal clothes with water. Bring your own gear if it meets their safety standards, but paintballs must come from them—no exceptions. This keeps quality consistent and prevents cheap rounds from jamming equipment.

• •Weather: Most games go ahead in light rain. Ascend reserves the right to reschedule if conditions get severe—they prioritize safety over convenience.

Team building for coworkers, bachelor/bachelorette groups, family events with teenagers, or friends who just want competitive gameplay outdoors. The field can accommodate larger groups with advance notice—just call after booking.

Ascend Camp is American Camp Association accredited.
