Connect & Play
Get ready to experience the heart-pounding world of Nerf Wars, where foam darts fly, alliances are formed, and epic battles take place! Three sessions are offered per date, Kindergarten - 2nd grade and 3rd - 6th grade. The battleground? Metro Rec Center should give us plenty of room to dodge obstacles, strategize with teammates, and celebrate a win!
Participation fee for each session is $19.00 and registration is separate for each date and on an individual basis! Hit up all your friends and sign up soon as spots are limited and sure to fill up fast!
Participants are welcome to bring their own Nerf gun if they’d like, with a limit of one per person. Battery-operated devices are not allowed. If you prefer not to bring your own, we will have Nerf guns available to use. Foam darts and eye protection will be provided by Fargo Parks.
