Lumberjack Competition:

This is an event not to be missed, where teams compete across four challenges. Each challenge highlights a skill needed to become a skilled lumberjack!


  • Two-Person Saw (Godendard): Two team members must coordinate to successfully cut through a log!
  • Single Saw: One team member must show strength and speed to win this round.
  • Hammer: A test of strength and precision where each team member takes turns hammering the same nail, one hit at a time, until the nail is fully driven into the log.
  • Axe Throwing: The team with the most accurate throws wins this round!


The team that completes all challenges in the shortest time will win the competition. Come cheer on the teams—this is a show you won’t want to miss!

Schedule: Sunday, March 29, 2026, at 1:15 p.m.
