Get directions to Delta Force Paintball Maple Ridge

No. There are no strict height or weight restrictions to play at Delta Force Paintball Maple Ridge. We aim to make paintball accessible to as many people as possible; however, players should consider the following factors to ensure they have the best experience:

• Equipment & Sizing: Our combat suits and padded body armour are highly adjustable. We stock a wide range of sizes to ensure a comfortable and secure fit for various body types.

• Physical Requirements: Players must be able to move independently and safely through our movie-set game zones. The activity involves navigating uneven, forested terrain, which includes walking, crouching, and moving over natural obstacles.

• Goggle Fit & Vision: Our full-head safety goggles are adjustable and designed to fit comfortably on most head sizes. If you wear glasses, our goggles are specifically designed to fit over most frames, allowing you to maintain clear vision during your missions.

• Health Considerations: Because paintball is a physically active sport, we recommend that players with pre-existing medical conditions or physical limitations consult with a physician before booking.

National Pro-Tip: If you have specific concerns regarding sizing, physical accessibility, or medical requirements, please contact our central booking office at 1-800-568-8909. Our coordinators are happy to discuss your needs to ensure your entire squad has a safe and enjoyable day on the field!

Yes. Paintball is an extremely safe activity at Delta Force Paintball Maple Ridge. We maintain a 100% safety record through strict protocols and the use of industry-leading equipment designed for players aged 10 and up.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for beginners and younger players, we provide:

• Low-Impact .50 Calibre Technology: Our markers use a smaller, lighter calibre that reduces impact energy significantly compared to traditional paintball, making it much more comfortable for new players.

• Full-Head Goggle Systems: Our goggles feature a wrap-around system that protects the face, temples, and ears.

• Bespoke Body Armour: Custom-designed torso protection is issued to all players as a standard safety requirement.

• Professional Marshalling: Highly trained marshals supervise every game, enforce “no-fire” zones, and ensure all safety rules are strictly followed.

Information for Parents

We believe that parents are the best judges of their children’s readiness for adventure. Parents need to know about the nature of the activity and decide for themselves whether their particular child is hardy and mature enough to participate in paintball.

To help you with this decision, we have compiled a comprehensive “Information for Parents” guide. This can be included in your initial information pack or requested directly from our friendly staff by calling 1-800-568-8909.

National Pro-Tip: All players under the age of 16 must have a completed parental consent form. We recommend providing the “Information for Parents” guide to other parents in your group along with the registration link to ensure everyone feels confident and prepared for game day.

While we occasionally accept last-minute bookings, we highly recommend booking at least 10–14 days in advance, especially for Saturdays and Sundays, which frequently sell out.

A typical day is divided into two sessions:

• Morning Session: (Summer) Approx. 10:00 am – 1:00 pm (Winter: 9:00 am – 12:00 pm)

• Afternoon Session: (Summer) Approx. 1:30 pm – 4:30 pm (Winter: 12:30 pm – 3:30 pm) Expect to play 4–6 varied game zones during your session, with refreshment breaks in between.

Expect to be at the centre for approximately 3 to 4 hours. This includes your arrival, kit-up, safety briefing, and roughly 6 varied game with refreshment breaks.

Please contact our booking office for more details.

At Delta Force Paintball , we cater to groups of all sizes at our Maple Ridge centre! Whether you are coming alone or bringing a small squad, you can always get in on the action.

• No Minimum Group Size: There is no minimum number of players required to book a session. If you have a small group, we will simply team you up with other players of a similar age and ability to form a full game session, making for an even more exciting and competitive experience.

• Dedicated Teams (20+ Players): If you have a group of 20 or more players, you can form your own dedicated team to play together as a unit against other teams throughout the day.

• Private Games (40+ Players): To secure an exclusive Private Game—which grants your group exclusive use of the game zones with your own dedicated marshals and no outside players joined in—we generally require a minimum of 40 prepaid players.

• Centre Opening Minimums: While we accept all group sizes, please note that a minimum total number of players across all bookings is required to open the Maple Ridge centre on any given day.

National Pro-Tip: If you are aiming for a private game but are just short on numbers, give our national booking office a call at 1-800-568-8909. We can check availability for your preferred date and help you find the best session to suit your group’s needs!

Securing your mission at any of our world-class Vancouver location is simple. Because our centre often reaches capacity weeks in advance, we recommend using one of the following methods to lock in your date:

• Call Our Event Coordinators: Reach us at 1-800-568-8909  for immediate assistance and to check live availability for weekend sessions and holiday events.
• Online Live Chat: Connect with our team via Live Chat for real-time quotes and quick answers about our immersive game zones like Prison Break or Tomb Raider.
• Online Enquiry: Submit a request via our Contact Us page, and one of our coordinators will get back to you promptly to finalize your booking.
• Centre Visits: If you would like to see our movie-set game zones in person before booking, please call 1-800-568-8909 to arrange a scheduled appointment with the Centre Manager.

Organizer Pro-Tip: Don’t wait for every guest to confirm or pay before booking! Secure your date with your core group today to ensure you don’t miss out on your preferred time slot. You can easily add more players to your squad as the game day approaches.

You can easily purchase extra supplies at our on-site Base Camp kiosk during your event. Our shop is fully stocked with everything you need to maintain your tactical advantage:

• Group Packages: For the best value, we recommend our specialized group packages. Purchasing paintballs through these tiered options is significantly more cost-effective than buying individual 100-ball pods, ensuring your squad stays fully loaded for every mission.
• Paintball Refills: Individual refills are always available for purchase throughout the day if you need a quick top-up between games.
• Upgraded Gear: You can purchase tactical armoured gloves for added protection and grip. These are yours to keep!
• Payment Methods: We accept Cash, Debit, and Credit Cards (verified by PIN). Please note that we do not accept cheques.

National Pro-Tip: To maximise your game time, have your group decide on a package when you first check in. It’s the fastest and most economical way to keep everyone on the field and ensure you don’t have to head back to the kiosk between every mission!

At Delta Force Paintball Maple Ridge, your comfort and safety are our highest priorities. While you may feel a slight “sting” similar to a quick flick of a rubber band, our industry-leading safety gear is specifically designed to minimize impact and maximize fun.

To ensure a comfortable and safe experience for every player, we provide:

• .50 Calibre Technology: We use a smaller, lighter calibre of paintball. This reduces impact energy significantly compared to traditional paintball centres, making the game much more approachable and enjoyable for players aged 10 and up.
• Bespoke Body Armour: Our custom-designed plates protect the torso, significantly absorbing the feel of any impact and providing you with added confidence on the field.
• Full-Body Combat Suits: These durable suits feature integrated padded neck collars for extra protection in sensitive areas.
• Full-Head Goggle Systems: Unlike standard goggles, our systems wrap entirely around the head, providing 360-degree protection for the ears, temples, and face.
• Professional Marshalling: Our marshals strictly enforce a “distance rule” on the field, ensuring no one is shot from close range.

National Pro-Tip: We recommend wearing loose, breathable clothing underneath your combat suit. This adds an extra buffer and allows for a full range of motion. For those wanting maximum protection, armoured gloves are available at our on-site kiosks to protect your hands!

We know that chasing people for money can be the hardest part of organizing a group. To make the process as stress-free as possible, we offer flexible payment options:

• Secure the Date: The group organizer typically secures the desired date by paying for the minimum number of confirmed players.

• Individual Payments: We can often arrange for individual players to pay for their own packages, taking the pressure off the organizer.

• Flexible Management: Whether you want to pay in one lump sum or have players call in separately, our team is here to help. Please speak with our central booking office at 1-800-568-8909 to discuss the best way to manage your group’s payments.

Add as You Go: You can add more players to your booking as they confirm their attendance, up until a few days before your event (subject to availability).

Yes. Every Delta Force centre features a large, sheltered Base Camp with picnic-style seating. This area serves as your group’s “HQ” where you can relax, eat, and discuss tactics between missions.

NOTE: Delta Force Paintball does not offer on-site catering or pizza lunches. However, groups are welcome to organize an external delivery (such as pizza).

Delivery Note: Because our venues are often located in forested or rural areas, please ensure a member of your party is ready to meet the driver at the main entrance to collect your order.

Can we bring our own food and drinks?

Absolutely. We strongly encourage all recruits to bring their own packed lunches and significant amounts of water. Paintball is physically demanding, and maintaining hydration is essential for a safe and enjoyable day on the field.

Are we allowed to bring a birthday cake?

Yes. You are more than welcome to bring a birthday cake. The Base Camp is the ideal spot to celebrate and sing “Happy Birthday” once the gear has been handed back at the end of the session.

Are refreshments available for purchase on-site?

Yes. Our on-site kiosk stocks a variety of snacks to keep your energy up between missions, including:

• Cold drinks
• Chips
• Chocolates

Player Pro-Tip

For peak performance on the field, we recommend consuming light snacks during game breaks and saving your main lunch for after your final mission. This ensures all players stay light on their feet and perform their best.

While spectators are not permitted on the active field for safety reasons, our Base Camp features sheltered seating where parents and friends can relax and meet players during breaks.

You will have the opportunity to check in with your group between missions as they return to the Base Camp to hydrate and refill their equipment. This is the perfect spot for parents to stay involved in the day’s excitement while remaining in a safe, controlled environment.

Yes. Free on-site parking is available, though spaces can be limited during peak periods. We strongly recommend carpooling where possible.

At Delta Force Paintball Maple Ridge, we understand that plans can change. To ensure your group isn’t disadvantaged by a no-show, we have a clear “Credit Place” policy:

• Credit for Future Use: If a player is unable to attend on the day, their entire payment value—including their entry, equipment, and paintball allocation—is carried forward as a credit place on your booking profile. All prepayments and paintball allocations are non-refundable and non-transferable.

• Non-Transferable on the Day: Please note that these allocations are strictly non-transferable between players on the day. This means a no-show player’s paintballs cannot be used or shared by other members of the group during that session.

• Redeeming Your Credit: This credit can be applied to a future paintball booking at any of our Canadian centres, allowing the absent player (or a replacement) to join a future mission.

• Why this policy exists: We staff our centres and prepare professional-grade equipment based on your confirmed player count to ensure the best possible experience for all guests.

National Pro-Tip: If you know in advance your numbers have changed, call our central booking office at 1-800-568-8909. We recommend only prepaying for players who have 100% confirmed, as you can always add more recruits to your squad later!

We offer flexible morning and afternoon sessions to suit your squad’s schedule. Because daylight and seasonal conditions vary across Canada, we recommend checking your specific date with our team.

• Standard Sessions: Typically, our morning sessions kick off at 10:00 am (Summer) and afternoon sessions at 1:30 pm (Summer).

• Winter Itinerary: During the shorter days of the Canadian winter, we often shift our start times (e.g., 9:00 am for mornings and 12:30 pm for afternoons) to maximize your “game time” before sunset.

• Seasonal Adjustments: We occasionally adjust session times to ensure your group gets the full movie-set experience regardless of the season.

• Travel Tip: Local traffic and weather conditions can be unpredictable! Please check your booking confirmation for your specific arrival time to ensure you don’t miss the essential safety briefing.

Ready to Lock it In? For the most up-to-date availability and session times for any of our Canadian centres, please contact our national booking office at 1-800-568-8909.

Yes! Paintball is a world-class, all-weather outdoor sport, and our sessions proceed in almost all weather conditions—including rain and snow. Many players find that a light snowfall or a bit of rain adds a unique tactical challenge and extra excitement to the woodland-terrain game zones.

Our centres are fully equipped to ensure your group has a premium experience, regardless of the elements:

• Sheltered Base Camp: Every Delta Force location features a large, undercover Base Camp designed to keep your group dry and comfortable between missions.

• Secure Lockers: We provide on-site lockers at all centres to ensure your dry clothes, electronics, and valuables remain protected while you are on the field.

• Weather & Safety Policy: Cancellations are extremely rare. A session will only be postponed if the Centre Manager deems specific conditions (such as lightning or extreme gale-force winds) unsafe for players or staff.

• Force Majeure Policy: In the unlikely event that a session cannot proceed due to extreme weather, safety concerns, or “Force Majeure Events” (circumstances beyond reasonable human control), Delta Force Paintball reserves the right to issue a full-value credit for the booking instead of a refund. This credit is valid for a future booking and may be used by the original customer or transferred to another person.

National Pro-Tip: If rain or snow is forecast for your session, we recommend bringing a towel and a spare change of clothes to leave in your car. This ensures a comfortable and warm journey home after the action!

To ensure your session starts on time, we provide several tools to help you locate our entrances easily. Because many of our centres are located in large forested or rural settings, standard GPS coordinates can sometimes be slightly off. We recommend the following steps:

• Search for the Brand Directly: If you are using Google Maps or Apple Maps, searching for the specific centre name (e.g., “Delta Force Paintball Maple Ridge” or “Delta Force Paintball Vancouver”) is significantly more accurate than entering a street address alone.

• Use Your Booking Confirmation: Upon booking, you will receive a confirmation email containing a detailed map and specific directions. We strongly recommend sharing this PDF or link with every driver in your group before you set off.

• Sat Nav Caution: While GPS is helpful, rural entrances can be discreet. Please cross-reference your Sat Nav with our specific directions to ensure you reach the correct gate and not a service entrance.

• Live Support: If you are struggling to find us on the day, please call our national support team at 1-800-568-8909. Our team can provide immediate guidance to ensure you reach the car park safely.

National Pro-Tip: Aim to arrive at the centre 20–30 minutes before your scheduled start time. This allows for unexpected traffic or road closures and ensures your group does not miss the compulsory safety briefing. If you miss the briefing, your game time will be delayed until the next safety induction is available!

Yes! We recommend booking for your minimum confirmed players as early as possible. Our centres are the most popular in the country, and session spots fill up quickly—especially on weekends.

• Secure Your Date: Booking for your core group now ensures you don’t miss out on your desired date and session time. It’s better to lock in a slot for 10 people now than to wait for 20 and find the day is fully booked.

• Add Players Later: You are welcome to add more players to your booking up until a few days before your event. Simply call our national coordination team to check availability, and we will do our best to accommodate the extra recruits.

• Stress-Free Planning: Don’t let a few “maybe” responses hold up the entire group. Locking in the confirmed players now officially starts the countdown to game day and often encourages the “maybes” to commit!

National Pro-Tip: Demand for our movie-set game zones is high nationwide. We suggest booking for your “definites” today, then sending a “final call” to the rest of your group once the date is officially locked in. You can manage additions with a quick call to 1-800-568-8909.

Yes, you can! At Delta Force Paintball Maple Ridge, we love welcoming drop-in players. Our staff will do their best to “gear you up” and merge you into an existing group so you can get straight into the action.

To ensure your day goes as smoothly as a tactical reload, we recommend the following:

• Check Daily Availability: Before you head out, give our booking office a call at 1-800-568-8909. We can confirm the best arrival times for the Vancouver center and ensure no private events are currently occupying the game zones.

• Age Requirements: Safety first! All players must be at least 10 years old to participate in standard paintball at our Canadian centers.

• Peak Weekend Strategy: Saturdays and Sundays are high-demand days. While we always welcome walk-ons, players with existing bookings receive priority. Calling ahead helps you avoid a wait in the Base Camp for the next available rotation.

Pro-Tip: Most players book in advance to secure their preferred mission start times. A quick call before you leave home ensures we have your equipment ready and a spot in the briefing line the moment you arrive!

At Delta Force Paintball Maple Ridge, there is no strict minimum or maximum number of players required to book; we welcome everything from solo players to large corporate groups. However, your group size determines how your session is structured:

• Small Groups & Individuals: Any group size is fine! If you have a small group, we will simply join you with other players of a similar age (10+) and ability to ensure a high-energy, competitive atmosphere.

• Forming Your Own Team: If you bring 20 or more players, you will have enough recruits to form your own dedicated team to play against other groups throughout the day.

• Private Game Requirements: To secure an exclusive Private Game (where your group plays alone on the game zones with your own dedicated marshals), a minimum of 40 prepaid players is required.

• Centre Opening Minimums: While we accept all group sizes, please note that a minimum total number of players across all bookings is required to open the centre on a specific day. If no other groups are booked in for your requested time, our event coordinators will discuss alternative dates or times with you.

National Pro-Tip for Organizers: You can make your booking now for the players you have 100% confirmed. You are welcome to add additional players to your booking up until a few days before your event, subject to availability. If you have questions about your squad size, call our national booking office at 1-800-568-8909.

Yes. All players are required to complete an online registration form before they arrive at the centre. Completing this in advance ensures a smooth check-in process and maximizes your time in the game zones.

• Parental Consent (Under 16s): In accordance with Canadian safety standards, all players under the age of 16 must have their registration form completed or signed by a parent or guardian.

• Group Coordination Tip: We highly recommend sending the unique registration link to your entire group via your invitations or a group chat. Ensuring everyone completes their form in advance will significantly speed up your team’s check-in on game day.

• Accessing Your Link: Your event coordinator will provide your unique group registration link when you are finalizing your booking. If you haven’t received it, please contact our national office at 1-800-568-8909.

• Digital First: By completing these forms online, we can have your high-tech equipment ready and waiting for you the moment you step into the Base Camp!

Player Pro-Tip: Don’t wait until you arrive at the centre! Completing the forms on your smartphone before you leave home means less paperwork at the front desk and more time out on the field.

From the moment you arrive, our team ensures your experience is professional, safe, and high-energy. A typical session follows this itinerary:

• Arrival & Registration: You will be greeted by our friendly staff for check-in. To ensure a fast-track entry, please ensure all players have completed their online registration forms before arriving at the centre.

• Kitting Up: Once checked in, you will be issued with your professional-grade gear, including your full-head goggle system, bespoke body armour, and full-body combat suit.

• Compulsory Safety Briefing: Before the action begins, all players must attend a professional safety briefing. This covers equipment handling, game zone rules, and our strict safety protocols.

• The Action Starts: You will head out to our themed game zones to play 4–6 varied games per session. Each game features a different objective to test your team’s strategy and skill.

No. Delta Force Paintball operates a strict zero-alcohol policy at all our centres nationwide to ensure the safety of all players and staff.

To ensure a safe environment for everyone, please note:

• No Alcohol On-Site: Alcohol is strictly prohibited at our centres, including in the Base Camp and car park areas.

• Sobriety Policy: Any player found to be under the influence of alcohol or illegal substances will be excluded from play immediately.

• No Refunds: In the interest of safety, anyone asked to leave the premises due to intoxication will not be eligible for a refund.

National Pro-Tip: We recommend saving the celebrations for after your session! There are many great local venues near our Canadian centres where you can enjoy a drink once the gear is handed back and the games are over.

Staying fueled is the key to a great day of paintball! Here is how you can plan your meals at our Maple Ridge location:

• On-Site Kiosk: Our Base Camp shop is stocked with a variety of snacks, including chocolates and chips, along with a range of cold drinks and sports beverages to keep you hydrated between missions.

• BYO Food & Drink: We encourage all groups to bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverages. Every Delta Force Base Camp offers ample undercover seating and picnic tables for your group to relax and refuel.

• External Catering & Delivery: Delta Force Paintball does not provide on-site catering or pizza lunches. You are welcome to organize your own external food delivery (such as pizza) to the centre for your group.

• Delivery Logistics: As our Maple Ridge centre is located in a forested setting, please ensure you provide the delivery driver with clear instructions and are prepared to meet them at the main entrance to collect your order.

• Celebrate with Cake: Planning a birthday party? You are more than welcome to bring a birthday cake to enjoy in the Base Camp! It is the perfect spot to celebrate once the gear has been handed back at the end of the day.

National Pro-Tip: Most of our players bring a portable cooler with sandwiches, fruit, and plenty of water or sports drinks. It’s the best way to ensure your squad stays energized for the full session without having to leave the Base Camp!

We want every “young gun” at our centres to have a world-class experience. We take great care in managing our player groupings to ensure the games are fun, fair, and safe for everyone.

• Age-Appropriate Matchmaking: Our standard practice is to separate children and adult groups to ensure a balanced competitive environment. We make every effort to match your group with players of a similar age and ability level.
• Family Groups: You may see adults on the field during a youth session if they are parents, guardians, or older siblings participating as part of the same booking. We find that many parents love getting in on the action and sharing the experience with their kids!
• Universal .50 Calibre Tech: Because we use high-spec .50 calibre low-impact technology for all players aged 10 and up, children and adults can compete on a level playing field comfortably.
• Professional Marshalling: All games are managed by our highly trained marshals who act as active referees. They ensure that all players—regardless of age—follow safety protocols and that the gameplay remains fair and exciting for everyone.

National Pro-Tip: If you are organizing a youth birthday party and want to know more about the other groups booked for your session, give our team a call at 1-800-568-8909. We can help you choose the best session time for your group’s age bracket and answer any questions about our supervision policies.

At Delta Force Paintball Maple Ridge, we utilize modern technology to ensure the sport is accessible and enjoyable for a wide range of ages:

• Minimum Playing Age: Delta Force Paintball has set its minimum playing age to 10 years old. This ensures participants have the maturity to follow safety protocols and the physical capability to enjoy the missions.

• Supervision Requirements: While our professional marshals supervise all games, all players under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult at the centre for the duration of the event.

• Universal .50 Calibre Technology: We utilize high-spec .50 calibre markers for all players aged 10 and up. These modern markers are lighter and use smaller paintballs, providing a much more comfortable, “low-impact” experience compared to the older .68 calibre equipment used elsewhere.

• Parental Consent: Please note that all players under the age of 16 must have a completed online registration form signed by a parent or guardian before they can take to the field.

National Pro-Tip: Because our .50 calibre technology is standard for everyone, it is perfect for mixed-age groups and family outings! It allows 10-year-olds and adults to compete on a level playing field. If you have any questions about our equipment, please contact our national booking office at 1-800-568-8909.

Paintball usage varies depending on your playing style, but a good rule of thumb for our Maple Ridge centre is approximately 200 paintballs per game zone. Because every player is different—some prefer tactical sniping while others like to provide heavy cover fire—the total amount you use is entirely up to you.

• Flexible Play: You have the freedom to decide how many game zones you play throughout the day, allowing you to pace your ammunition use according to your budget and strategy.

• Pay-As-You-Play: Additional paintballs are always available for purchase at our on-site kiosk during your session, giving you full discretion over your spending.

• Group Upgrades: Many groups prefer to select group upgrade packages rather than buying individual 100-ball pods. These packages offer much better value and ensure your whole squad remains well-stocked for the duration of the event.

• National Pro-Tip: To get the most out of your day, we recommend starting with a mid-sized bundle. In our larger, movie-set game zones, the action can get intense—you won’t want to run out of paint in the middle of a critical mission! If you need to top up, our central booking office can also assist with prepaying for larger allocations at 1-800-568-8909.

No. For safety and environmental reasons, only paintballs supplied by Delta Force Paintball on the day of your event are permitted for use at our centres. To maintain our high standards, we enforce the following policies:

Why We Only Use Site-Issued Paintballs

• Environmental Protection: Our centres are often located in pristine woodland settings. We are strictly committed to using only high-quality, fully biodegradable paintballs that are safe for the local Canadian ecosystem.

• Impact Safety: We ensure our paintballs are stored in climate-controlled conditions so they remain “frangible” (meaning they break easily on impact). External paintballs can become brittle or dangerously hard if stored incorrectly, posing a significant safety risk to other players.

• No “Bring Backs”: To maintain our safety guarantee, paintballs that have been taken off-site cannot be brought back for future use. Once paint leaves our controlled environment, we can no longer verify its quality or safety.

National Pro-Tip: All Delta Force centres across Canada use specialized .50 calibre markers. Using our site-issued paintballs ensures your gear performs at its best with the correct calibre for a smoother, more accurate game.

Yes! You are welcome to use your own paintball goggles, combat suits, and markers at our Vancouver centre. However, please note that the use of any personal equipment is at the absolute discretion of the Centre Manager on the day. If a piece of equipment does not meet our specific safety or technical standards, it will not be permitted on the field.

Marker Requirements & Inspections

To play with your own marker, it must pass an inspection by the manager and meet the following criteria:

• .50 Calibre Only: We exclusively use .50 calibre paintballs to ensure a safer, more enjoyable experience. Your marker must be compatible with this size; standard .68 calibre markers are not permitted.
• Chronograph Test: The manager will perform a quick chronograph test to ensure your marker is firing below 300 FPS (feet per second) to comply with site safety and insurance regulations.
• Air Systems & TC Stamps: We operate a strict “no customer-owned gas cylinders” policy. You may not bring your own tanks or bottles on-site for any reason. Our marshals will provide and attach Delta Force air bottles to your marker, provided they are compatible and satisfy health and safety guidelines (including being TC/DOT stamped).
• Air Refills: Our marshals will refill the provided air bottles to 3000 PSI after every “double game” (approximately every 30 minutes of action), ensuring you have plenty of gas for the mission.

Maintenance & Safety

• Base Camp Safety: We operate a strict “no markers in Base Camp” policy to protect all guests.
• Gun Zone: When not in active play, your marker must be safely racked in our designated Gun Zone. You are free to perform any necessary maintenance in this area between games.
• Game Placement: Once cleared by the manager, you can use your marker in private games or alongside other patrons.

Paintballs

For health, safety, and environmental reasons, only paintballs issued by Delta Force Paintball on the day of your event may be used. External paintballs are strictly prohibited.

Important: The Centre Manager’s decision regarding the safety and suitability of any personal equipment is final. If your gear is not approved, we will provide you with our high-quality rental equipment so you don’t miss out on the action!

For the best safety and comfort, Delta Force Paintball Maple Ridge recommends wearing old, comfortable clothing and sturdy footwear. As the industry leader in paintball safety, we provide professional-grade protective equipment to every player as part of your admission.

Expert Clothing Recommendations:

• Base Layers: Wear light, breathable “old” clothes—such as a t-shirt and gym shorts or leggings—underneath the combat suit we provide. This prevents overheating while ensuring a comfortable fit during high-energy missions.

• The Delta Force Combat Suit: Every player is issued a custom-designed, full-length combat suit with a high padded collar. This is specifically engineered to protect your skin and personal clothes from the elements and paint.

• Essential Footwear: Sturdy, closed-toe shoes with good tread are essential for the varied forested terrain in Maple Ridge. The most suitable footwear is a light boot with deep tread and ankle support, though old trainers or sneakers are also permitted.

Essential Gear & Extras:

• Safety Equipment & Upgrades: Your admission includes our industry-leading safety kit: full-head protection goggles and custom-designed body armour. Additional tactical gear, such as paintball gloves and groin guards, is available for purchase at the centre kiosk.

• Post-Game Comfort: We strongly suggest bringing a change of clothes and a towel for the conclusion of the session. You will appreciate having fresh, dry clothes for the journey home after a day in the forest!

National Pro-Tip: During the wet or cold seasons in British Columbia, a light hoodie or thermal layer underneath your combat suit provides excellent added padding and warmth. For any specific gear questions, please contact our national office at 1-800-568-8909.
