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.

Frequently Asked Questions

We know planning a fundraiser comes with questions — here are clear, simple answers to help you feel confident.

What is an Apex Obstacle Course fundraiser?

It's an 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.
