Ever wondered what it's like to be high in the trees navigating a rope
course? Want to conquer your fear of heights and prove something to
yourself? Ever dreamt of taking a thrilling flying fox ride down from
the tall trees in the forest while yelling your head off??Then this is
for you!!
We will be tackling the awesome TREETOPS ADVENTURE PARK ON SATURDAY
6TH JUNE!
Check out below what Treetops have to say about their park:
"TREETOP ADVENTURE PARK
Come and experience the iconic Australian bush like never before. Get
up-close and personal with native Australian wildlife and magnificent
Gum trees, as you climb, weave and fly through the tree tops on
self-guided rope courses. Flex your adventurous spirit and test
yourself mentally and physically with over 100 elevated obstacles with
rope ladders, wobbly bridges, tunnels, cargo-nets and zip lines."
It will be a fantastic day out with our mentors and to possibly meet
some new deaf/hard of hearing teenagers!
PLEASE READ THE BELOW INFORMATION FROM TREETOPS ADVENTURE REGARDING
WHAT TO DO/BRING ON THE DAY:
* There are no special skills or prior knowledge required, just
bring along a sense of adventure and we will provide all the training
and safety equipment you need to be an expert tree climber.
* Participants must wear fully enclosed shoes (sporting shoes are
recommended); no exposed skin from the ankle down (skin must be
covered by shoes not socks). For example, participants will not be
allowed to undertake the Activities in sandals, Mary-Jane’s, thongs,
ballet flats, slip-off, toed shoes etc...
* If you want extra grip, bring gloves or purchase a pair from the
office. It can take approx. three hours to fully complete the
adult/junior courses and up to two hours for the child courses.
* Make sure you pack water, wear comfortable clothes, fully enclosed
shoes, tie back long hair, remove jewellery and apply sunscreen and
insect repellent.
* We are open in all weather conditions (except lightning and
extreme high winds). For your enjoyment of the courses, we only allow
an allocated amount of people on the course at once, so it is highly
recommended that you make a booking to avoid disappointment.
* Please arrive at the park with plenty of time, ready to start your
session at the booked time. We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes
prior (at least 30 minutes _Sydney - The Hills and Western Sydney_)
to your booked time to allow for finding a car park, completing waiver
forms, removing all jewellery, storing any remaining valuables in your
car, all participants having used the bathroom, applying
sunscreen/insect repellent, handing keys to office staff etc.
* During school holidays, public holidays and weekends more time may
be required as all parks get particularly busy. If you miss the start
of your session, you may not be able to participate as the equipment
you wear on the course is reserved for you. If you are late this
impacts on other participants. No refunds or part-refunds will be made
if you are late and it is not possible to accommodate you.
* For safety reasons you can’t carry anything with you on the
courses and there are no lockers on site, so leave all your valuables
at home and leave your keys at the TreeTops office. Once you are in
your safety harness absolutely nothing is allowed in your pockets or
hands, this includes jewellery, phones, wallets, keys and cameras.
