TREE CLIMBING FACILITATION

Become a Tree Climbing Adventure Guide!
Earn your credentials as a GOTC Recognized* Tree Climbing Facilitator!

Tree Climbing Facilitators are trained professionals who enable inexperienced climbers to enjoy recreational tree climbing.

Whether you are looking to start a recreational tree climbing program at your camp or organization, pursue a job as a recreational tree climbing facilitator, or facilitate climbs for friends and family, this course will introduce you to the standards, procedures and guidelines of running a facilitated climb event.

A facilitator is responsible for inspecting and preparing the tree and climbers for recreational tree climbing, and insuring their well-being during their climb. A facilitator is responsible for the safety of the climbers and possesses skills to coach and manage multiple climbers on rope at the same time.

This course introduces students to GOTC facilitated climb guidelines, facilitation procedures, modified climbing systems, climber assistance techniques, and aerial rescue. Facilitator proficiency cannot be gained in a short 3-day course, which is why your instructor will continue to act as a mentor and consultant in the months following the course to aid and support you in your pursuit of the GOTC credentials.

Prerequisite: Students must be experienced in basic MRS/DdRT tree climbing techniques. These skills can be learned through our Beginning Tree Climbing 2-day course or our combined Climbing & Facilitation 5-day course.
