The elementary schools are a great place to introduce the safe version of tree climbing using a rope and harness. For starters you can usually find trees on the school grounds worthy of recreational climbing. Equipment can be stored at the school too. But the most important thing is that the activity will be visible to the kids and that means strong participation. Attendance at the climbing events, like school festivals and county fairs have always proved the strongest when compared with competing events.
Tree climbing draws the kids in.
It's fun and presents a challenge the kids don't get tired of. In fact, the hard part is getting the kids to come down. Kids sell the event to other kids by bringing them in. There are many benefits. It's great exercise.
