CAMP DARBY, Italy -- A new and exciting program has started at Camp Darby. As part of Warrior Adventure Quest, Camp Darby Outdoor Recreation has a new paintball course and equipment.
According to Outdoor Recreation Program Manager, Robert Collodi, players are divided in two groups to simulate a battle against each other using compressed air pistols commonly referred to as "markers" and bio-safe paintballs.
"Once you're hit, you must leave the battle field," explained Collodi. "The last player remaining unmarked is the winner."
He added that safety measures require players to wear protective gear, especially a face shield in order to prevent possible eye injuries.
"As an additional safety measure, players are not allowed to shoot at opponents if they are 10 feet or less apart," said Collodi.
Club Beyond students who spent their summer camp at U.S. Army Garrison Livorno were the first groups to test the new paintball program.
"I am proud to say that they were very happy with the organization and the natural battle field the Buffer Zone offers," said Collodi.
Collodi added that the upcoming paintball courses are only be for adults over 16 years of age, but there are plans in the future to organize games for younger groups.
