Organiser's description

As we say at Camp, challenge by choice! And the choice is yours to see Hole in the Wall a little differently by participating in our very own Bandit 5K Run/Walk or 6-Hour Trail Run. Winding across our Connecticut location, you’ll take in the beauty of the grounds and pass by iconic Camp buildings and program areas throughout the course.

Following the 5K, the “hole" gang is invited to a one-of-a-kind finish festival featuring refreshments and live music. Take a tour of Camp, enjoy a craft project in the Creative Complex, play a round of mini-golf on Camp’s signature links and more!
