When Winston-Salem schools need inflatable rentals for field days, carnivals, fundraisers, and end-of-year celebrations, they call Airbender Inflatables & Party Rentals. We are the only inflatable rental company in Winston-Salem — and the entire NC Triad — holding S.I.O.T.O. (Safe Inflatable Operators Training Organization) certification, the highest verified safety credential in the inflatable industry. We carry full commercial liability insurance, provide Certificates of Insurance for school districts and campus administrators, and operate equipment to standards that meet or exceed North Carolina school event requirements.
From Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools to private academies, charter schools, and colleges — Airbender has the experience, the equipment, and the documentation to make your school event safe, smooth, and unforgettable. Call (336) 828-2414 to speak with our school events team, or submit your event details online.
SIOTO-certified — verified safe for school events. Schools carry a unique responsibility when bringing outside vendors onto campus. Our S.I.O.T.O. certification — the only one held by any inflatable company in Winston-Salem or the Triad — means every piece of equipment we bring has been inspected, maintained, and operated by trained professionals who meet the highest industry safety standards. When a principal, superintendent, or school board asks about vendor safety credentials, you have a documented, third-party verified answer that no other local company can match.
Certificate of Insurance provided for all school events. Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools and private institutions require liability documentation before any vendor arrives on campus. Airbender provides a Certificate of Insurance naming your school, school district, or campus as an additional insured — at no extra cost. We have the paperwork process down and make it straightforward for activity directors and administrative staff.
Professional crew trained for school environments. Our delivery and setup team understands school campuses — they work efficiently around student schedules, respect school grounds, and operate with the professionalism school administrators expect from trusted vendors. No crew members wander into restricted areas. No delays that throw off your event schedule.
Equipment scaled for large student groups. A typical school field day or carnival in Winston-Salem involves hundreds of students rotating through stations throughout the day. Our commercial-grade equipment is built for heavy, continuous use — not backyard parties. Units stay safe, functional, and presentable through hours of high-volume school use.
All brand new, fully sanitized equipment. Every unit is new commercial-grade equipment, thoroughly sanitized after every use and safety-inspected before every delivery. For school administrators responsible for student health and safety, this is not optional — it is our standard.
Obstacle Courses — Our most popular school event rental in Winston-Salem. Inflatable obstacle courses are perfect for field days because they handle large student rotations efficiently, create natural competition and energy, and work for a wide range of ages and grade levels. Available in multiple lengths to fit your campus layout.
Bounce Houses & Combo Units — Classic bounce houses and combo bounce-and-slide units for elementary school events, carnivals, and celebrations. We have options sized appropriately for younger students and larger units for middle and high school events.
Water Slides — Large inflatable water slides for end-of-year celebrations and spring field days. One of the most anticipated rentals at Winston-Salem elementary and middle school events every year. Requires a water source connection — our team handles the setup.
Foam Party — A school event favorite. Our foam machines produce mountains of kid-safe foam that create an incredible experience for students. Increasingly popular for end-of-year celebrations and reward events at Winston-Salem schools.
Dunk Tank — A perennial field day classic. Students line up to dunk their teachers, principals, and coaches. One of the highest-engagement activities at school carnivals and field days across Winston-Salem.
Carnival Games — A full suite of carnival-style games that work seamlessly as field day stations or carnival booths. Ring toss, duck pond, skee ball, and more — all operated as standalone stations that teachers and parent volunteers can run.
Inflatable Games — Bungee runs, jousting platforms, and interactive competitive games that are ideal for middle school and high school events where students want more competitive, active entertainment.
Toddler Zone — Soft, age-appropriate inflatables designed for younger children. Ideal for Pre-K and Kindergarten field days and celebrations at Winston-Salem elementary schools.
Concessions — Snow cone machines, popcorn machines, and cotton candy machines available to add to any school event package. A simple way to enhance the carnival experience without a separate food vendor.
Event Staff — Trained Airbender staff available to operate and supervise equipment throughout your school event. Required for mechanical rides and strongly recommended for large field days where consistent supervision across multiple stations is important.
