Tree Climbing FacilitatorTree Climbing Facilitators enable inexperienced climbers to enjoy trees and recreational tree climbing.
The facilitator inspects and prepares the tree and climbers for climbing & demonstrates the climbing technique. Facilitators provide encouragement, guidance, and support to climbers during their time aloft. Develop your leadership & communication skills, as well as your own climbing skills! Don't know how to climb yet? Actually, most facilitators I have worked with were new to the idea of technical tree climbing. Your first day on the job will have you climbing into the trees! (read about our training program below) All of our climbs are run by tree climbing facilitators, so there are many opportunities to provide an amazing experience and leave a lasting impression on each person you work with! |
All facilitators need to be, or in the process of becoming proficient in technical tree climbing (including tree inspection, MRS climbing, equipment operation and inspection, etc).
- New employees enter our training program, beginning with a 1-day introduction to the basics of technical tree climbing. This is followed by our facilitation training program. - During training, you are working facilitated events alongside the owner, a GOTC Recognized Master Instructor & Lead Facilitator. - During your shifts, you often have time and are encouraged to continue to develop your climbing personal skills. - By the end of your first season, you will have covered the course work introduced in our Beginning Tree Climbing and Tree Climbing Facilitation courses. At that time, you will likely have progressed to the point where you are able to successfully pass the associated skills assessments to obtain your credentials as a GOTC Recognized Facilitator. |
