Tree climbing in the James River Park with Riverside Outfitters

Come Out and Play with Trees! Relish Your Human Abilities and Dance With Endorphins.

Climb with certified arborists and tree care experts at a location of your choosing, including our favorite spots in the James River Park System with gorgeous views of the James River from high in the tree canopy. All climbing gear is rated to at least 5,000 lbs. The climbing system has redundant controls so that each climber is belayed by the rope system and by our staff as a back-up safety measure.

"Madison had such a great time.... and she was exhausted by 8 that night. She always loves the camps so we will be there for the next one! Thanks for getting them out of the house and doing something healthy and active..."

"I love to see these kids faces when they actually are high up in a tree and realize what they are doing. It has been a confidence builder for many of our kids. We started out doing one class each time last year and had soooo many kids want to do it we had to break it up into k-2 and 3-5 both times, so I guess that means the kids love it too."

"Ryan and Cameron had a great time at camp today. They came home tying slip knots and setting up pulleys on their bunk bed. Thanks for a fun camp."

"I just had to write a note of THANKS for an experience my 4 year old had at the Arbor Day Festival last Saturday! Christopher had a BLAST! Your staff was very patient & thorough in explaining the ropes & what he should do...Thanks again for creating a GREAT memory & a future Climber!"

"The boys loved [camp] this year and last year. Every time we drive by the boys say ro is awesome! I just asked for a comparison to last year and they said "even better, more activities." they already want to do it again next year."
