Tree Top Trekking (Zip-lining and More!)

Whether you’ve tried this before or not (like me) Tree Top Trekking is bound to be loads of fun. Arbraska operates one Ontario park, plus three successful parks already set up in Quebec. The obstacle courses consist of climbing, walking ‘bridges’, and zip-lining. Here's how they describe it:
"Stride along the top of the trees with the use of rope bridges, zip lines, climbing nets, footbridges, swings…
Equipped with a harness you will progress, in complete safety through different levels of treetop courses ... The adventure will begin with a mandatory initiation given by a trained guide who will explain the safety rules and how to use your cords, carabiners and pulley. During your canopy tour, this equipment will be connected to a cable which ensures your safety. Take advantage of this moment of escape!
Go beyond your limits, stimulate your senses and experience an incomparable connection to nature! Spend an unforgettable time ... and take advantage of the benefits this activity has on the body and mind."

And aside from the sheer fun, there are two other “best parts” to this adventure!
1) It’s less than 1.5 hours away from Toronto (just north of Barrie); and
2) We’re getting the low, low price of $40 each for 3 hours! (Usually $62/person)

Our day will look like the following:
….Car pool leaves Downsview at 9:45 SHARP.
….Arrive on-site by 11:30.
….Short hike to Training Centre
….Preparation and Initiation
….Climbing / obstacle course / 11 ziplines
….Early dinner in Barrie
