You climbed small trees when you were little. Now that you have grown up, you want to climb big trees. Now is your chance to see what is involved without spending big bucks for equipment and instruction.

Your Park Ranger Instructor will introduce you to the equipment and its proper and safe operation. You will practice with the equipment (ropes, knots, harnesses, etc) until you are proficient, then you will be tested. You will ascend into a tree and repel down. Later we will hike to a new location and do some more tree climbing. Our program should be complete by mid-afternoon.
