Educational Tree Climbing Adventures


​Recreational Tree Climbing provides a unique opportunity for students to learn through connecting and engaging with the natural world.

The structure of facilitated tree climbing addresses multiple learning styles to effectively engage a diverse group of learners.  Our easy-to-understand directions have participants of all abilities ascending on their own within minutes.

Facilitated Tree Climbing is a safe and enjoyable outdoor activity for all ages and allows schools to offer an adventure and experiential learning opportunity without the need to invest in gear or equipment.

​Unique aspects and benefits of recreational tree climbing:
  • Practice mindfulness while relaxing in the shade
  • Improve and enhance cognitive development
  • Feel the tree’s interaction with the breeze
  • Incorporate physical fitness with learning
  • Escape the grip of electronic devices
  • Practice positive encouragement of classmates
  • Build self-reliance and enhance spatial awareness

The perceived risk of climbing heightens participants’ awareness and focuses their attention.  Whether your program is designed around physical fitness or a study of physics, the activities promote communication, cooperation, and self-confidence.
 
Sample programs include:
-           Study of gravity as climbers drop and time the descent of objects.
-           Study of simple machines such as the advantages of pulleys.
-           Understanding of the mechanics of knots.
-           Tree biology and physiology, from water uptake to oxygen release.
-           Ecosystem interactions between trees and other plants and animals.
-           Analytical exercises through the study of the climbing system.
-           Creative and expressive arts through journaling, reading, art, and poetry.
-           Practice of meditation and mindfulness exercises in the natural world.

Class sizes can vary:  Individual student to groups with multiple learners, regardless of age differences.
 
Whether it be a single event or a recurring program which allows them to build upon previous achievements, we work with you to create an experience your children and students will never forget!
