Climb Wisconsin's Majestic Oak Trees with Treetop Explorer

Treetop Explorer LLC Brings Recreational Tree Climbing to Southeastern Wisconsin

When you climb into a tree, time and perspective change. Your state of mind is altered. You are energized yet at peace. You reach new heights, both literally and figuratively. As time passes, there are measurable decreases in anxiety, anger, and depression levels. Stress decreases. Positive emotions increase. This is the essence and power of tree-time.

As a child, your sense of adventure probably took you into the woods and up trees in search of adventure, discovery, physical challenge, and often times, simply to escape to a quiet place. Many of us loved climbing trees, but somewhere along the way we stopped.

You may have continued to go to the forest to hike, camp alongside a creek, or string a hammock between two trees. As rewarding as these experiences are, getting off the ground and into the branches, you will rediscover the energy and positive outlook you had as a kid. You are likely to discover a deeper understanding of who you have become.

​Treetop Explorer, LLC provides the opportunity for inexperienced people enjoy the professional tree climbing experience. We are based in Waukesha and offer a number of climb opportunities around Wisconsin throughout the year. We partner with a number of municipal park & recreation departments and after-school camp programs around Milwaukee, Waukesha, Madison and the Fox Cities.

We offer private climb events for individuals & couples, groups, tree lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone looking for an exciting way to spend time with family and friends. It's easy to make tree climbing a part of your birthday celebration, scout troop outing, team & staff retreat, friends weekend, or adventure education program.

We provide all of the necessary climbing & safety gear. We walk you through easy-to-follow instruction to get you climbing soon after your arrival, meaning you do not need prior experience or knowledge.

We believe in ‘leave no trace’, therefore we take measures to minimize our impact on the trees so they can flourish and continue to provide the benefits essential to a healthy society. We have a ‘challenge by choice’ philosophy, therefore we support each climber with their individual and personal goals. We respect each individual for who you are and work with you to help you pursue your personal goals by fostering an accepting and encouraging environment during your time with us.

Once you are in the saddle and clipped on rope, you are free to ascend at your own pace and move about the tree as you feel comfortable with. You can swing, hang upside down, take in the view, climb to the top of your rope, sit or stand on a limb, meditate, chat with a friend, study the tree, connect with nature, escape from the hustle and bustle...and breathe fresh air within the shade of the tree.

Sitting in the branches of a 200-year-old tree can be life-changing, create lasting memories, and help you connect with your true self.

Join us in the treetops and experience the power of tree-time!
