Join us for the first-ever Women’s Arbor Climbing Alliance event — a FREE day dedicated to connection, confidence, and community in the world of tree climbing championships.

This event is designed for women who are curious about competing, volunteering, judging, or simply learning more about tree climbing competitions. Whether you’re brand new to the championship environment or already a familiar face at events, this is a welcoming space to learn, grow, and meet other women in the industry.

Throughout the day, we’ll have:

Event demonstrations and guided discussions
Hands-on participant climbing related to championship events
Open sessions to ask questions, share experiences, and connect
Opportunities to build skills and confidence in a supportive setting

This is a fun and encouraging way to explore the world of tree climbing championships while building relationships with other women in arboriculture.

Please register so we can communicate any weather-related updates. Plan accordingly, as lunch may not be provided (light snacks may be available throughout the day).
