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 climbs on the first and third Sundays each month except during winter months, when it's usually too cold to have any fun. We're now closed for the season.

See this video of a TCI Beginners' Climb in full screen mode.

Beginners' Climbs will resume in March or April next year when Mother Nature brings back warm, sunny weather. Please check our calendar to make sure you don't miss our first climb in the Spring. Our beginners' climbs are held in Blackburn Park (3530 Ashford-Dunwoody Rd. at Johnson-Ferry, Atlanta, 30319, maps).

TCI also offers a series of classes for people who want to take tree climbing to the next level. We schedule these classes throughout the year. Check out our courses and get in touch!
