2025 NAA Intro to Tree Climbing Event

October 20, 2025 8:30 AM - October 21, 2025 1:00 PM (CDT)

Description

We are excited to announce the 2025 Intro to Tree Climbing Event located on the NCTA campus in Curtis, NE, October 20th – 21st, 2025. This class is open to NAA and non–NAA members and is designed to get you up in the tree and working confidently.

The Tree Climbing Training Workshop is your chance to get hands-on experience and build confidence working in the tree. We’ll start with the basics - gear checks, safety practices, and knot-tying, so you know exactly how to set yourself up for success before leaving the ground. From there, you’ll learn the fundamentals of both Moving Rope Systems (MRS) and Stationary Rope Systems (SRS), giving you the tools to approach climbing with confidence and flexibility.

Most importantly, this is a participation-based training - everyone climbs! With expert guidance, you’ll practice ascending, positioning, and descending safely, all while building the skills you need to take on real-world arborist work. Whether you’re new to climbing or looking to strengthen your foundation, this workshop is designed to get you comfortable in the tree and ready to put your skills to work.

COURSE FORMAT: 

Two days: October 20, 8:30 am - 4:00 pm & October 21, 9:00 am - 1:00 pm, with a morning break and an hour lunch off-site.

Class instruction, along with hands-on demonstration and skill building.
