High Ropes Course
What is a High Ropes Challenge Course?
A High Ropes Challenge Course is an exciting outdoor activity in which participants test their physical and mental strength, stamina, agility, balance and flexibility. A Ropes Course is built using arborist approved trees and constructed with environmentally sensitive methods that do not harm the trees. Participants climb from tree to tree on ladders, scramble up nets, over suspended bridges and swinging logs, fly down zip lines or even slide from tree to tree on skateboards. Courses vary in height and difficulty.
Who is a Ropes Course for?
Our Kids Course is designed to enable children to have as much fun in the trees as their brothers, sisters and parents. A minimum height restriction of 3’ 6” 110 cm and maximum weight of 120 pounds, 55 kg. At approximately 6-8 feet above the ground, our Kids Course provides tremendous excitement and adventure in a safe controlled environment. Parents can cheer-on and support their young trekker from the designated observation area located throughout the course. The Kids Course utilizes a continuous belay devise enabling Kids to just ‘Click and Trek’.
Skytrek Adventure Park offers three additional challenging High Ropes Courses for youth and adults, ranging from 15-30 feet above the forest floor. Due to safety concerns height and weight restrictions are in place (a minimum height of 4' 6”, 140 cm and maximum weight of 286 pounds, 130 kg).
