TREE CLIMBING FACILITATION
​Tree Climbing Facilitators are trained professionals who enable inexperienced climbers to enjoy recreational tree climbing.  Whether you are looking to facilitate climbs for friends and family or pursue a job as a recreational tree climbing facilitator, this course will introduce you to the standards and guidelines of running a facilitated climb event on your own or as part of a team.

A facilitator is responsible for inspecting and preparing a 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.

Students qualified for the Tree Climbing Facilitation course are experienced in basic tree climbing techniques.  The course introduces students to modified climbing systems, aerial rescue, and climber assistance techniques.
