The endowment fund
Securing the future of FKOC, dollar by dollar.
In 2024 we launched an endowment fund with the Maine Community Foundation. Our goal is $2.4M to sustain year-round operations, athlete development, and community programs for decades to come.
Summer on the trails
The northernmost disc golf course in the country.
Eighteen holes climbing from the lodge into the Lonesome Pine Trails, with the St. John Valley opening up behind the baskets. Two tee layouts — one for beginners, one for a longer round. Open May through October, dawn to dusk. Members play free; a day pass is $8.
