EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHING:
Treetop Explorer, LLC provides all of the equipment and gear necessary to enjoy recreational tree climbing. All equipment is inspected prior to each event, and double checked with each climber.

Participants will want to wear closed-toe, sturdy-soled shoes. Long pants help protect legs from scrapes against the bark and chafing from the harness. Gloves and safety glasses are available for climbers, but participants can bring their own.

CANCELLATION / REFUNDS:
- Refer to our Weather Cancellation Policy and Refund Policy for details.

RESTRICTIONS:
- Girl Scouts of the USA view recreational tree climbing being appropriate for Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors.
- Individuals unable to follow safety procedures are not permitted to climb.

FEES:
Cost per climber is $45.00 plus tax.
NOTE: Additional $6 vehicle entry fee is charged by Waukesha County Parks - NOT INCLUDED in registration.

We do not cover the intricacies involved in technical tree climbing during Girl Scout Open Climbs. Participants are only shown how to ascend & descend under the direction of a professionally trained and experienced tree climbing facilitator. Tree climbing exposes participants to inherent hazards and risks. If you want to learn how climb on your own, check out our Learn-to-Climb training classes.

All programs follow the recreational tree climbing guidelines, procedures and safety checkpoints set forth by the Global Organization of Tree Climbers, and comply with the Girl Scouts Safety Activity Checkpoints.
