Skirmish has 48 paintball fields, ranging in theme from deep
woods to urban warfare to castle siege to army depot assault. Many of
Skirmish's fields include multiple-story plywood castles or forts, as well as
wrecked cars, deadwood blinds, and military vehicles to take cover behind as
you snipe the other team. After picking up your included gun, paintballs,
and protective gear, and renting full-coverage cammo overalls to keep your own
clothes clean, you'll have ample opportunity if you like to crawl through the
dirt and ford streams as you advance on the other team. Most game-play involves either capture-the-flag or
eliminate-the-other-team strategies. Starting around 10AM, we'll play
games all day long, with a short lunch break, until everyone is out of
paint. Bring a friend to team up with, or a bothersome classmate as a
target on the other team. Consistently voted best paintball fields in the
country, Skirmish promises to be a Penn Outdoors trip you'll not soon forget.
