The magical world of trees

The aims of this trip are to make students aware of the need to respect trees and the environment, to encourage exchanges between students, to develop self-confidence and the ability to surpass one’s limits, to enable students to master the fear of heights, to strengthen group cohesion and team spirit, and to awaken students’ curiosity through play and physical activity.

Program

The activity lasts 2h30, with a presentation between
the supervisory team and the students at the start of the session. The tree-climbing educators then present the trees that will be climbed, the equipment used, and the climbing techniques. They also highlight the fact that trees are living beings, and make the link with human beings (breathing, food…). During the activity, students become autonomous on their climb and thus take the time to familiarize themselves with the tree, which becomes a real playground for discovery (leaves, bark, nests, cavities…).

1 qualified tree climbing educator for every 8 participants.

Individual protective equipment for each participant: rope, harness, carabiners, tree survey sheets.

Participants must bring their own equipment: sneakers or hiking boots, soft sports pants or jogging pants, water (1 liter per person), waterproof jacket.
