Playing in Trees at TreeGo

Even adults like to play in trees, as Alaina and her man demonstrate here. Swinging from tree to tree is particularly fun, but as adults, we generally need a little encouragement, and by that I mean a harness! So if you're ready to get buckled in and swing high, then head to your nearest TreeGo or its equivalent (try Googling tree obstacle courses + your location).

My mother, sister, and I took advantage of the one in Moncton while we were there and made it through three of the four courses in about two hours (I had to pee and my sister didn't think she could do it, my mother was a bit disappointed!). Maybe next time I'll tackle the black course and really test my fitness.

The ziplines weren't as scary as I thought they would be (they feel slower than it looks), and trying to balance on the swinging log bridges thoroughly worked my core. The only downside to the course was that there seems to be a bit of a height bias—if I were a few inches taller the course would have been a tad bit more comfortable (I’m just under 5 feet)--still, it was a great personal challenge (it's high) and a lesson in trust (in your gear!).

Cameras are not allowed on the course, so I have share a YouTube video to give you an idea of the fun we had.
