Tree Climb Connecticut takes full advantage of the beautiful state and county parks that Connecticut is known for while providing classroom training in a convenient centralized location.
Located in Manchester Connecticut just a few miles outside of Hartford near I-84. Tree Climb Connecticut provides an indoor climbing area for bad weather and 2.5 acres to train on Maple, Oak and Walnut trees. Coming from out of state? Ask about free overnight accommodations.
They offer both Adventure Climbs and also complete classes for both Recreational Climbers and for Tree Workers and Arborists. All students are taught how to recognize and report the invasive species that threaten our trees such as the Asian Long Horn Beetle and the Emerald Ash Borer.
Gary is a certified NETC Instructor with years of experience as an arborist, outdoorsman and instructor. His experience encompasses the world from rappelling the pyramids of Egypt to tree climbing rain forests in the South Pacific.
RECREATIONAL TREE CLIMBING CLASS
The class is for those who wish to learn about the sport itself and be able to climb on their own. The class lasts 1 ½ days and special arrangements can often be made if the posted schedule is not convenient. The first day starts off with the basic lessons about safety and technique and then after a climb in trees already set, it’s off to learn more about how to select the proper trees; how to throw and set the ropes; what sort of ropes and other equipment is needed; how to tie the proper knots etc. The afternoon is spent practicing and the student is then sent home with some rope to practice on (sort of homework…but fun).
The next morning, you get to use everything you learned, selecting the tree, throwing and setting the ropes and then tying the knots….then you climb the tree you prepared. We also go over the various equipment that is available throughout the arborist industry.
Upon course completion a certification card and certificate is issued. Recreational Tree Climbing $280 single or $250 per person for you and a friend. Email gary@newenglandtreeclimbing.com or call to verify availability (860)836-1216, then make reservations under our Classes link.

This is the perfect morning or afternoon in the outdoors for those age 7- 70 who want the experience without learning all the knots. the ropes are already positioned in the trees.
