Haunted Trail Fundraiser: Scary Fun for a Great Cause!

Whether you come to giggle or scream - it’s a spooky good time for a great cause

October 16, 2025

Looking for a Halloween adventure that gives back? Don’t miss the Haunted Trail Fundraiser at Robin’s Nest, an outdoor evening of fright and fun all in support of youth mental health!

Set on a working horse farm, this one-of-a-kind experience leads guests down a rugged dirt trail that winds through tall grass and open fields — the perfect setting for a few spine-tingling surprises.

Created by 125 Douglas County high school student volunteers, the trail features 11 themed scare stations, from creepy clowns and haunted dolls to zombies and classic movie scenes inspired by Scream and The Conjuring.

Why It Matters

All proceeds benefit the Robin’s Nest Foundation, a local nonprofit providing equine therapy programs for teens coping with anxiety, trauma, and emotional challenges. Every ticket helps fund this life-changing work — where horses help heal hearts.

We hope to raise $10,000 to make a difference through our mental health programs. All donations directly support Robin’s Nest Foundation, a non-profit organisation offering life-changing equine therapy programs for teens struggling with anxiety, trauma, and emotional challenges.
