Paintball is a very popular recreational sport.
Paintball is one of the most popular recreational sports in the world. It is a team sport where players try to eliminate their opponents by using a paintball marker that shoots small pellets filled with paint, hence the name of the sport. Paintball can be played either indoors or outdoors, and different scenarios such as "Capture the Flag" or "Hostage" can be applied to play as well. There are various camps that teach both teenagers and adults about the equipment, play and unique strategies to use. In California, paintball is a very popular sport, even on the professional level. There is a large selection of summer paintball camps to consider if you are looking to learn play.
