Paintball in the Fall

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

Yes folks, it’s really true!   We will be going back to the Hornet’s Nest in Ancram, Ny on October 11th for another fun-filled day on the battlefield.

In case you haven’t heard, the Hornet’s Nest is AWESOME!  It is a 100 acre paintball haven.  It boasts more than  7 large arenas all with different themes and potential set-ups that can be used in many ways to ensure an action packed day.  There is the castle on the hill, the ghost town, sniper’s ridge, indoor/outdoor speedball, and more.  You do not want to miss this last chance before the winter.

As well as having the coolest facilities around, the Hornet’s Nest also can also provide a full high quality set-up that includes a great gun, helmet, armor, paintballs, CO2, hoppers, and more.  If you need a full rental, please bring $20 to put towards the $56 rental fee, RSYP will cover the rest.

We will be leaving the drop-in center around 11:00m on October 11th (Monday) and retuning by 6:00pm.  Please contact Jules Jenssen at RSYP to sign up and put in your deposit to ensure that you have a spot.

Alternatively, you can also contact RSYP through Facebook, just search for Railroad Street Youth Project, or email us at email hidden; JavaScript is required.

Thanks!  Get ready to rumble!!!!
