Tree climbing is an exciting and emerging adventure sport that uses specialized gear to ascend into the canopies of tall, mature trees. Experience the forest from a rare and powerful perspective—one that fosters connection, curiosity, and respect for the natural world.
Our climbing programs are designed for all levels—from first-time climbers to seasoned adventurers. Whether you’re looking for a new challenge or a memorable group activity, this introductory session offers an immersive experience rooted in safety, education, and awe.
Your session begins with introductions and a brief overview of the program. We use this time to build community, establish expectations, and ensure everyone is set up for success. After fitting each participant with a helmet, saddle, and gloves, our guides teach the Double Rope Technique, a safe and accessible method for climbing trees. You’ll also learn essential safety guidelines and personal responsibility while aloft.
Once on rope, climbers ascend into the branches and broad canopy of a tall, healthy tree. As you climb, you’ll engage with the forest from a new vantage point—experiencing its beauty, complexity, and serenity up close. There’s time to explore, reflect, and simply hang out in the branches. Many climbers come away with a renewed sense of connection to nature and a deeper appreciation for our forests.
We end each session with a shared reflection, giving participants a chance to express what they experienced and learned. This “landing” helps link the physical activity to the broader ecological and educational messages we emphasize throughout the program. It’s more than an adventure—it’s a journey that inspires awareness and stewardship.
