Come check out UMass’s very own Challenge Course - right across from the Orchard Hill Residence Halls! The Nest is one of a kind, with a sky park, zip lines, and high and low team-based elements. The course has low-to-ground initiatives with elevated obstacles and low elements spread across the area, offering something for everyone.

NOTE: Update on 4/16/2026: Additional spots have been added at the NEST to accommodate an extra 2 hours of climbing on Founders Day. Once these spots are filled, they will only become available if someone else changes or cancels their reservation. Check back periodically for updated availability. Last group of registered participants start at 4:15PM
