Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE MENU

Bring Your Own — or Pick From the Ala‑Smash Menu

Participants can bring personal smashables to destroy or select items on site from an Ala‑Smash Menu, giving you control over what gets broken and how you take out steam.

THE SETUP

Protective Gear and Smash Weapons Provided

The session includes protective gear, a selection of smash weapons and access to the Break Room so you can focus on the act of breaking things without handling the logistics of tools or space.

THE PURPOSE

A Direct Way to Relieve Stress

Marketed as a stress‑relief outlet, the session is geared toward catharsis: controlled destruction as an alternative to letting anger linger.

What the day feels like

What the Smash Session Feels Like

The format is deliberate and stripped down: you arrive prepared with chosen smashables or buy from the menu, don provided protective gear, choose a weapon, and step into the Break Room to expend energy breaking glasswares, ceramics and similar items—an intense, short burst of physical release run by Lumberjax staff in St. Joseph.
