Why We’re Hosting a Toys for Tots Drive


At NR Adventure Park, community has always come first. From birthday parties and first-time players to league events and “bring-a-friend” weekends, our field thrives because of the people who show up, join in our community, and make the day memorable. Supporting Toys for Tots is a natural extension of that spirit: together, we can help ensure local kids experience the excitement and joy of receiving a holiday gift.


This isn’t just about dropping a toy in a bin; it’s about rallying as a community. When you bring a toy, you’re doing something small that adds up to something big—brightening a child’s holiday, right here in our backyard.


Where We’re Located—and Why It’s Convenient


Our field in Taneytown, MD makes donating easy for families across Carroll County and neighboring areas. Whether you’re headed out for weekend play or simply passing through, you can swing by during our collection hours and make a quick, meaningful contribution.


Easy access from: Westminster, Taneytown, Hampstead, Manchester, Union Bridge, and New Windsor

Plenty of on-site parking and a simple, one-stop donation bin at the pro shop

✅ Open donation hours that line up with weekend play schedules: Saturdays & Sundays, 9 AM–4 PM


How to Donate at NR Adventure Park


Step 1: Choose a gift.

Select a new, unwrapped toy appropriate for children and teens. (Please avoid realistic-looking toy weapons and food items.)


Step 2: Drop it off.

Bring your toy to the donation bin located inside our pro shop during collection hours: Saturday & Sunday, 9:00 AM–4:00 PM, now through December 7.


Step 3: Enjoy a thank-you perk.

As our way of saying thanks, donors receive $5 off paintballs or Airsoft BBs* (bottle/bag). This perk is easy to apply at the counter when you check out.


Important dates: We will accept donations on weekends only (Sat/Sun) from 9 AM to 4 PM, and our last day to drop off is 12/7.


Our Thank-You to Donors: Save $5 on Consumables


We appreciate every donation, and we want to make it a little easier to gear up for your next game day. When you bring a new, unwrapped toy, you’ll get:


$5 off paintballs (500/1000/2000 counts—all eligible)

$5 off Airsoft BBs (bottle/bag—your choice)


Simple guidelines:


  • Discount valid in-store only during checkout on the same day you donate

  • Applies to paintballs or BBs only (not admission, rental packages, or other promos)

  • One discount per person per day

  • Donations must be new and unwrapped

  • Final weekend to donate and redeem at our location is Dec 7 (with 12/7 as the last day we’re accepting donations)


Why a consumables perk? It’s straightforward, valuable, and inclusive. Whether you’re a paintball regular or part of our Airsoft community, this “thank you” helps with the essentials you already use—while keeping the focus on giving.


What to Donate (Simple Ideas That Always Help)


Not sure what to bring? Consider these popular, age-appropriate ideas:


  • For younger kids: Creative kits, building blocks, dolls, board books, basic sports balls, stuffed animals (with tags)

  • For older kids/teens: Headphones, Bluetooth speakers, card games, puzzles, sketchbooks + markers, sports gear, STEM kits, accessory sets

  • Universal winners: Board games, art supplies, craft kits, beginner musical instruments, science kits


Please avoid: Used items, unwrapped items, realistic-looking toy weapons, perishable foods, or anything fragile without proper packaging.


Make It a Team Effort


If you’re organizing a birthday party, group outing, or team-building day at the field between now and December 7, consider turning it into a mini toy drive:


  • Ask each participant to bring one toy

  • Snap a photo at the bin

  • Tag your team or group so others see the impact

  • Remind players they’ll each receive $5 off consumables as a thank-you


This is a great way to teach younger players about giving back and to underscore the sportsmanship and camaraderie that make our community special.
