Calumet Obstacle & Trail Challenge

Friday, September 12, 2025

Prepare to put your body to the test with the 1st Annual Calumet Obstacle & Trail Challenge. From Jackman Ridge to the Outdoor Chapel (ODC) to Ossipee Lake, our course will have you traversing the entire Calumet property for a 5K trail run while adding the challenge of a dozen obstacles along the way. This fundraising event is a fun way to challenge yourself while supporting the programs we offer year round at Calumet. 

Why are we doing this?

To come together as a community and help raise funds for Calumet’s Annual Fund to support the many important programs we provide each year. No child should ever miss out on experiencing camp because of the cost. Your participation helps ensure we have the funds needed to make camp a reality for families and kids across the region. 

5K + 12 obstacles + Calumet’s beautiful property = Fun for everyone!

Climb the hay bale mountain, snake through the “barbed wire” crawl, and tackle the Toboggan Run log carry. These are just a few of the obstacles that you will face in the Calumet challenge.
