Tue, 9.9.2025 – Paintball

Kuopion Seikkailukeskus, Asevarikko Paintball field, at 16:30-18:00 PM
Neulasuontie, Kuopio

Splättis, paintball, color ball war – you name it!
Try something new and exciting in the form of paintball games. Paintball is sports at its best! In paintball, a marker (paintball gun) powered by CO₂ or compressed air is used to shoot paintballs. The game can be played with various rules, but the most common version is the classic “capture the flag,” where participants are divided into two equal and balanced teams. The teams are distinguished by different colored armbands or vests.

The game session lasts 1.5 hours at the Asevarikko field. The activity will be organized if there are at least 10 participants.

Clothing recommendation: Sportswear with long sleeves and pant legs. A scarf, beanie, or other head covering is recommended to wear under the mask. Shoes should be sneakers or similar, and they can get wet. Gloves are also a good addition. Protective gear will be provided by the organizer and worn over your own clothes.

NOTE: There are no changing rooms or restrooms at the site.

Price: €36/person

The price includes 1 bag of paintballs, appropriate protective gear, and masks. Card payment on site.

Driving instructions to the paintball field:

Asevarikko Paintball field is located 6 km from Kuopio city center, in Pieni Neulamäki! Enter Neulasuontie, Kuopio into your navigator. When coming from Neulalammentie, turn LEFT onto Neulasuontie. (Neulalammentie intersects Neulasuontie in the middle.) There is a dead-end sign – ignore it and drive on. Continue along the road until it turns into a bike path under a bridge. Just before the bridge, a small gravel road turns off to the right, where you’ll see small Seikkailukeskus signs with directional arrows.

Meeting Room Pointti, Novapolis, 16:30–18:00
Microkatu 1, Building H, 2nd floor, 70210 Kuopio

Taiji is slow, relaxed, and mindful movement that offers a chance to tune in to yourself and enjoy some true quality time. Through practice, you’ll learn to relax, calm the mind, breathe more deeply, and move in a more balanced and grounded way by using the whole body in harmony with the mind and intention.

We’ll begin with gentle Chi Kung (Qigong) exercises to open up the body. As we become more relaxed, breathe more deeply, and calm our minds, we’ll move into the soft, flowing, and mindful movements of Taiji. The session will end with soothing movements designed to release stress and tension.

The exercises include effective movements especially for the neck, shoulders, and lower back. Thanks to the slow and attentive nature of the practice, these movements are suitable for nearly everyone.

Instructor: Tarmo Hakkarainen

The session will take place with a minimum of 10 participants.
We recommend wearing comfortable, flexible clothing.
