  • Adult may be on the ground observing; (maximum ratio of 2 children per 1 adult). Supervisor must remain on Treetop Adventure grounds.
  • Escort
  • Adult must be up ON the course climbing along with the child.

“My wife is a ropes course expert. Me? Not so much. Our kids? Born to climb, apparently. It was great that there were courses all of us could enjoy.”
