Obstacle Course
A high-energy school fundraiser that combines fitness, leadership, and fun. Students stay active, build confidence, and raise meaningful funds together as a community.
Inside the Obstacle Course Experience
Communication is Everything
We meet six weeks before kickoff to design your schedule and outline your goals. After that meeting, we handle absolutely everything else.

The Principal Challenge
Zero Hassle, Maximum Impact
Climb It, Crawl It, Conquer It
Students take on a full inflatable obstacle course, climbing*, crawling, and pushing through every challenge in front of them. For 30 high-energy minutes, each student moves through the course at their own pace while the whole school cheers them on. Every student who starts, finishes, and that moment at the end is the one they remember.
*Courses can be adjusted based on school regulations.
A Course Built for Your Campus
We bring the inflatables, the sound, the DJ, and the energy. Our team sets up the full course on your field or blacktop and sizes it to fit your space and your enrollment. Students rotate through in waves by grade band, so every group gets the full experience without the wait.
Zero Hassle, Total Confidence
Your local Apex team handles everything from course setup to final teardown. Students push through challenges they didn't think they could finish, celebrate with their classmates, and carry two weeks of leadership lessons with them long after the inflatables come down.

What School Leaders Are Saying
"They helped my Autistic student through every obstacle at his own pace."
Our team lead deserves recognition for how he handled one of our life skills students at the obstacle course. This student does not typically do physical activity or enjoy the outdoors like our other students, and he had so much joy going through the course.
Teacher
"After bringing in the obstacle course, now that is all the kids want to do."
We love doing Apex at our elementary school. The obstacles are great for all ages and abilities, and they have the best time running through the course. The leadership lessons are amazing and the enthusiastic workers make the program accessible and fun.
School Principal
"The culminating obstacle course was a great way to cap off the two weeks."
Apex is a dream fundraiser for any school. The personnel are professional and as helpful as possible, and the students are incredibly engaged.
Administrator
"Although the obstacles were meant for the students, I enjoyed being able to participate with one of my students through the course."
It was also a great opportunity to share with parents the excitement my class had about wanting to raise funds for our class.

"The team members somehow remember my students year after year."
As a special education self-contained teacher, I love when Apex comes. The students look forward to it every year. They have the perfect balance of excitement and expectations, so that every student thrives.
Teacher
"Usually the hype comes in the beginning at the assembly, but the hype happened every day."
I think this was by far the best fundraiser we have ever had. The students got to see and learn the names of the Apex troupe and they got excited and motivated to raise funds. They loved the prizes as well. Having the troupe on campus in our fine arts classes reinforced the leadership expectations and enhanced the experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Apex Obstacle Course fundraiser?
It's unforgettable event built around giant, fun-filled inflatable obstacles that your students will absolutely love moving through. Kids easily gather online pledges for every obstacle unit they conquer! On the event day, our team sets up, runs, and takes down the whole course. Staff don't set up equipment or supervise obstacles.
Is the obstacle course safe for younger students?
Yes. The obstacles are adjustable and our trained team staffs the course throughout. We plan modifications with your staff ahead of event day for any student who needs one, so nobody is figuring it out on the fly.
Can students with mobility needs take part?
Yes, every student participates in a way that works for them. We plan those adjustments with your team before event day rather than on it, and no student is left out of the celebration or required to fundraise to join in.
Who sets up and takes down the equipment?
We do, start to finish. Your local Apex team brings the inflatables, sets up, runs the event, and packs everything out. Your custodial and facilities staff don't inherit a project.
