Looking for more play in your life? Adult Field Day is probably just what you need! It’s the perfect excuse to play, laugh, be creative, and embrace child-like joy. Every August for one day only, teams of six to eight players gather together to compete in silly games (three-legged races and water balloon fights for example). Prizes are awarded throughout the event for various things (so even if you’re not athletically gifted, you can still win!). Teams are encouraged to bring out their inner crazy, perhaps arriving in costumes with creative team names ready to go. Gather your friends and family and create a team! Cost is $125 per team. It’s the perfect way to spend a summer Saturday!
