THE INSTURCTOR (CFI) WAS DEMONSTRATING A SOFT FIELD TAKEOFF FROM A GRASS AREA BESIDE THE RWY. AT THAT TIME, THE ACFT LIFTED OFF, THEN SETTLED BACK ONTO THE GRASS. THE CFI REPORTED THAT THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR TOUCHED DOWN IN A HOLE WHICH CAUSED THE ACFT TO VEER RIGHT & TO PITCH UP. THE ACFT BECAME AIRBORNE AGAIN, BUT THE STALL WARNING SOUNDED & THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN AGAIN. THE CFI THEN INITIATED ABORT PROCEDURES, BUT THE ACFT BECAME AIRBORNE AGAIN & DESCEND DOWN A SLOPE WHERE IT COLLIDED WITH TREES BEFORE COMING TO REST.
