Welcome to Tree Climbers International!
Come Climb With Us!
Tree Climbers International® is a worldwide organization of people who love to climb trees. We do this safely and with utmost care for the trees we climb. We want the sport of "rope and harness" tree climbing available so that everyone can experience the joy and wonder of seeing the world from the heights of the treetops!
Try it for yourself! TCI Beginners Climbs are a great way for anyone to experience tree climbing. Whether you're a 5 year old child or an 85 year old "kid at heart," you can do this if you're in good health. TCI routinely hosts these events on the first and third Sundays each month except during winter months, when it's usually too cold to have any fun. Our beginners' climbs are held from 2-5 p.m. in Blackburn Park (3530 Ashford-Dunwoody Rd. at Johnson-Ferry, Atlanta, 30319, maps). Check our calendar at the bottom of this page to make sure a scheduled climb has not been cancelled.

TCI also offers a series of courses for people who want to take tree climbing to the next level, whether you want to climb for fun or you want to teach others. Check out our class information and our scheduling procedures, and get in touch!

I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep
an appointment with a beech-tree, or a yellow birch, or an old
acquaintance among the pines.
-- Henry David Thoreau
