Wonderful experience. - I was excited to learn and do the climb. The staff (Tim) was very knowledgable, informative, helpful and very patient! The climb was physically challenging. I did not do as well as I hoped. It probably would have been better if I wore long pants and at least crew socks. I got to about 160 feet. What a view! I would definitely do it again. Now that I have a better understanding, I hope to get to the top. Thank you for the experience and opportunity.

Amazing week at Tree Climbing Camp! - Our 10 year old son was in heaven at the Silver Falls State Park Tree Climbing Camp. As a kid who already loves climbing trees, this took it to a whole new level. The staff we not only knowledgeable and put safety first but amazing with the kids. By day 2 the kinds were mini experts at their gear and knowledge of climbing. Each day was a different adventure and we even got a "this is better than Mind craft" out of him. We do a lot of camps and this was by far the best one yet, and made an amazing destination camp. We would highly recommend this camp to kids whose happy place is hanging out in the trees all day.
