Learn to Climb

Climbing trees is one of the most unique, exciting, and fulfilling skills you can learn.  Whether you are looking for an adventurous hobby, searching for a more intimate experience in nature, or wishing to work outdoors, tree climbing can fulfill these desires.

​Climbing trees opens up a whole new frontier for your adventurous spirit to explore.  Most trees have never been climbed or explored by a human being.  You may be the first and possibly only person to experience a particular tree.

Classes are scheduled during the off-season, October-March.  Personal, private, and small-group sessions can be scheduled any time of year.

Additional Info:

We provide all equipment necessary to participate and complete the course work.  Students will be introduced to a variety of equipment which they can experiment with to help determine what equipment they may be most interested in when it comes time to purchase their own gear.  Students wishing to utilize their own equipment may do so if it passes our quality and safety inspections.
