For scouts and girl scouts ages 7+
Do you have Scouts or Girl Scouts that you’d love to send up into the trees? Encounter the giants of the forest and explore trees from a new perspective as you climb into the canopy under the guidance of trained facilitators. Ascend to the top, swing from a branch, or try a “bat hang” – Adventure awaits!
The Tree Climbing Festival Registration includes 20 minutes of climb time (please choose a time slot when registering), a scavenger hunt along the trails, a naturalist-led hands-on nature investigation, and access to picnic areas for lunch (please pack a lunch and be mindful of single use plastic waste).
Pricing*: $25 per participant – Includes 20 minutes of tree
climbing – Climbing is reserved for youth participants ages 7+
Limit of 12 scouts or girl scouts per 20 minute climbing time
slot
At least one adult chaperone per 10 youth is required for
scout groups.
Pre-registration is required by May 1 at 11:55 pm. Use the button below to register for a 20 minute tree climbing slot.
*If a sibling (scout age 7+) of a registered climber wants to attend the festival without climbing, you can add a non-climber registration for $7 using the button above and choosing the non-climber option. The non-climber must be a scout age 7+ and registered with at least one climber.
