What's with the Sasquatch

Our property is located in the rolling back wood bluffs of the Kansas River. We get asked all the time if this is where Sasquatch, Yeti or Bigfoot live. Of course the answer is yes. We have had quite a few sightings and enlisted him as our Mascot.

Beware the “Squatch” for we are letting him loose on the street of Kansas City to motivate you to, “Unleash Your Inner Beast”!

Volunteer Opportunities

Join the Timber Challenge Team! Volunteers are a vital part of the team from check-in to coaching individual obstacles. Ideal volunteer candidates are energetic motivators who love the outdoors and fitness as much as we do.

WHY? All volunteers get to come out the course and play/test our obstacles in advance of the event.
