The Great Pumpkin Drop

Dealey Division and Training Ship MacIntyre will be hosting a team building event (The Great Pumpkin Drop ropes course and zip-lining) starting at 2:00 pm on Sunday, October 27, 2024 at The Adventure Park in Bridgeport, 4450 Park Ave, Bridgeport, CT.  No experience necessary as there are many easy courses to start out on. Dress is NWU, but you can wear sneakers as it is harder to do the ropes course in combat boots.  And don't forget:  Bring Your Own Pumpkin to smash onto the target while zip-lining!  The event ends at 5:00 pm but the Adventure Park said we could stay until 6;00 pm when they close.  You may leave earlier if you wish.
 
The cost to participate is $25 per cadet.  In addition, you will need fingerless leather gloves to climb (bring your own or you can purchase them at the park for $8.95).  Please do not let cost be a no-go issue.  We will find the funds of cost is an issue.
 
If you will be participating, please submit your payment of $25 via Venmo (@Dealey-Division) and have your parent sign the waiver:  https://pos.myadventurepark.com/discoveryap/event/join/517347-14FA.  (Note:  If you have visited The Adventure Park before and are familiar with the safety protocols, you can bypass the Safety Briefing by filling out and answering the questions on this form: https://myadventurepark.com/briefing-bypass-application/). Once you have submitted payment and your parent has signed the waiver, please email the XO or Training Officer  to confirm your spot on the reservation. 

Parents:  This is a drop-off event, but you are welcome to stay (and climb/smash pumpkins) if you wish.  It does not cost anything to watch, but if you want to participate, the cost will be $47.00 (the Division is subsidizing the costs for cadet/staff participants only). 
Last, but not least, mark your calendar for our next team building event which will be held at the Cos Cob Rifle Club on December 15th from 1-4 pm.  This event will be free; details to follow once we finalize The Pumpkin. ​
