​

Tree Inspection and Insurance

Treetop Explorer, LLC is insured for recreational tree climbing events & will provide proof of insurance upon request. 

​All climbing trees must pass our tree inspection on the day of the event in order for the event to proceed. An I.S.A. Board Certified Master Arborist performs this inspection.​

If you wish to utilize your own tree(s), we will schedule a visit to inspect your tree(s) and verify if they are appropriate for recreational climbing and provide you with details if there are items to address before it can be climbed. We do not provide pruning services.

Fees

Pricing is determined and presented prior to scheduling your event. Pricing is largely influenced by your group size and age range. 

Our recommendation for length of climb event is based on the time necessary for most groups to have enough time for all participants to get a 2nd ascent (or more). This is influenced by group size and participant ages.

​We can coordinate climb time, staffing, and logistics to accommodate most groups. We will provide the price according to the parameters appropriate for your group..

The price covers all equipment, permits, and guidance for your group once you arrive at the climbing tree. (Note: Waukesha County Parks charge a vehicle entry fee, and is not included in our price.)

A deposit of $100.00 (or 10% of total price, whichever is greater) is due at time of booking to lock in your event. Final balance is due the day of the climb. 

Staffing

Treetop Explorer, LLC will provide the staff to accommodate the needs of your event. Only our trained and qualified facilitators work with climbers on rope. ​

Locations

Our climbing trees are located in City and County parks. We can provide location options based on your location, logistics related to your group/event, or according to park availability.

In SE Wisconsin area, we have multiple location options in Waukesha County. ​Climbs in the Dane County area are held in Verona. Climbs in the Fox Cities area are held in Kaukauna.

Availability

We can climb trees year-round; however, climbs in mid-April through October typical find temperatures more acceptable to most participants. We run climbs every day of the week.
