Challenge Mountain is located near Walloon Lake in northern Michigan. It is the nation’s only non-profit organization that provides adaptive recreation exclusive to the developmentally challenged, helping them achieve their maximum potential through outdoor theraputic recreation. Various programs offered are designed to build confidence, self-esteem, create dignity, instill caring among peers, provide joy, build strength and independence.

Challenge Mountain is volunteer driven, and 100% of every donated dollar goes directly to programs.

After enjoying Springtime Splendor, you can look forward to the colorful grandeur of the Fall season “up north”.  For adventurous individuals and families, experience the Nightmare at Challenge Mountain.  Every weekend in October, the Lodge & grounds become a House of Horror.  Jim and Terry Baker have created this experience and improved it every year.  This adventure was developed in honor of their deceased daughter Brandy.  Brandy was a great fan of Challenge Mountain, and loved Halloween.  The Bakers have a huge financial investment in this very professional presentation, in addition to their time and talent.  New experiences are added every year.  All proceeds are donated to Challenge Mountain.   Almost 2000 people visited last Fall, and those that survived will no doubt return this year.   A Season Pass costs $10 for adults, and up to two children for an additional $5.00 ~ yes, you can come back more than once with your Season Pass.
