PASSION, INSPIRATION, AND INNOVATION
 THROUGH TREE-BASED ADVENTURES
What is a “Canopy Adventure?”

             A true canopy adventure is a
             100% tree-based experience
             consisting of a series of zip
             lines, bridges, and other
             challenge elements spanning
             from tree to tree within a forest.

             The adventure allows
             participants to explore the
             forest in a brand new way and
             is intentionally designed to be
             a thrilling and educational
             experience.
