Kids yelling “This is the best day of my life!”, adults remarking how wonderful it is to climb so high in a tree, and young people’s eyes focused on eternity as they wonder aloud how they can include nature and trees in their own life’s work. Climbing a tree appeals to an innate sense of purpose and expression in people and is deeply rewarding, relaxing and exciting all at the same time.
We, at Adventure Tree, are privileged to bring the educational and therapeutic benefits of tree climbing and outdoor learning programs to kids and adults alike. We are doubly fortunate to be partnered with EarthDance Farms for providing these programs on EarthDance property and furthering both of our organizations’ missions to teach about nature, build community and promote sustainable practices.
We do our tree climbing programs in a really nice Red Oak that is right behind the main office building. Please come out and join us, have some fun, and get a bird’s eye view of the farm that few have had the opportunity to see.
On Sept. 1 we’ve got open enrollment tree climbs on the first Sunday of the month. The cost is $29 for adults or $24 for youth/student. Just show up at 2:00 PM at EarthDance, and we’ll get you geared up and climbing!
Also in September we’ll be teaching a St. Louis Community College Recreational Tree Climbing course. The cost is $39 ($28 for seniors). Sign up with STLCCand then join us from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM for this informative and fun learning experience.
