Skirmish Paintball is a paintball park in Albrightsville, PA, in the Poconos, with more than 50 playing maps spread over 750 acres of woods, fields and creeks. It is open year-round for all-day play.

The maps run from speedball arenas with inflatable bunkers to two castles, villages, forts, cargo containers, tanks and airplanes set in dense woods, swamps and rhododendron thickets. Admission covers all-day play from opening until curfew with a rental marker, mask, unlimited air fills and referees, and the half-price weekends in October, December and January make a first try cheaper.
