SAB plans trip to Flight Trampoline Park

The Student Activities Board (SAB) is sponsoring a trip to Flight Trampoline Park in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, Sat. Oct. 7.

According to the trampoline parks’ website, it offers “cutting-edge entertainment, fitness and sports facility unlike anything you have ever experienced.”

Over the last three years, the SAB has consistently organized this trip due to the positive turn out.

“We have been doing this event since I was a freshman here and I’ve went every year since then,” said graduate assistant Erin Kern.

Jumping on trampolines is not the only thing Flight has to offer, but while bouncing around students can help their own well-being by getting some exercise. Flight also has a laser course that patrons can go through, which is a relatively new addition to the trampoline park. It’s an experience that people of all ages can enjoy, according to Michelle Keith, a junior middle level education major.

“It’s a really fun experience,” she said. “Last year I wore my Fitbit and I gained over 20,000 steps and while you are there you are usually getting chased by little kids but that’s okay because they’re allowed to do that.”

Some other activities that people can partake in at Flight are trampoline dodgeball and basketball. When playing basketball, there are trampoline ramps that lead up to the hoop so that almost anyone can dunk.

According to Flight’s website, all of the dodgeball games are “pick-up form,” meaning that people can gather anyone they like and play against their friends.

Flight Trampoline Park also has a Ninja Warrior Course, which, according to its website, is “just like the one on TV and is a one-of-a kind obstacles course.”

SAB encourages any student interested in a day of fun and cool experiences to sign up and come out for the trip this weekend.

“This place has only been open for the last few years and this was something that we just wanted to try, but ever since we did this event, then the students loved it so we continued to go to the park at least once a year or once every semester,” said Keith.

A bus will be leaving Stover Campus Center at 7:30 p.m. to Bridgeville.

The cost for students is $10, and usually roughly 20 to 30 people attend to jump and let loose at the park.
