Tree Climbing Class: Level 1 & Level 2

We believe trees offer valuable opportunities for recreation, fitness, meditation or work. For these reasons, we believe tree climbing should be as ubiquitous as riding a bike. Our mission is to help our community learn to safely climb & appreciate these beautiful structures!

About the event
This class is perfect for someone who is new to climbing trees & folks who've either attended our previous climbing classes OR have been climbing on their own for a bit.
- Folks with previous experience will have a unique set of instructors & tree climbing challenges to test/grow their skills.
- Those who are new to the sport will follow the below:
Class Structure:
- You'll be safely in a tree hanging from a life-support harness within the first 30min of the first class!
- We start low to the ground & progress to greater heights once each participant feels comfortable doing so.
- If you do not feel comfortable leaving the ground, we understand(!) & you will still learn valuable skills.
- If you want to climb to the top of the tallest tree at our training facility, we will help you!
What to Bring & Wear:
- Water & Snacks that you may need for the duration of the class
- Closed toe shoes (ideally a hiking-type shoe that covers your ankle)
- Clothing that can move with you (fitness, yoga, hiking, workout, etc.)
Age & Ability Range:
- Classes are designed for ages 15 and up
- Folks younger than 15 can attend the class with an adult that will help the child follow along in the class (not a "drop off" class for kiddos)
- Tree climbing tends to work different muscles than other activities (good thing!)
- You'll likely have success in the class if you're able to get up from a seated position on the floor with 1 hand or less & can walk up a small flight of stairs with little to moderate fatigue
