Blastcamp in Hobart, IN

As a mom of boys, I long ago had to get over my fear of them getting a boo-boo. Once they get to a certain point, bruises and scrapes are like a badge of honor no matter how much mom doesn't want to see them get hurt. I've had to try not to worry when they play rough and just have to shake my head when they break an arm playing dodgeball or end up taking them for stitches after they walk off the baseball field with blood oozing from their forehead.

My youngest had long been looking forward to turning 10 to be old enough to go to a paintball field. He was quite pleased with his first experience - an outdoor paint ball field in Hobart, Indiana called Blastcamp.

The site of a former Nike Missle Base is open for walk-on play or groups. There's some neat history there. You can read more on their website, Blastcamp.com. It's been in businesses for 25 years.
