Itinerary:

I participated in this event last year and had such an incredibly great experience that I decided to run this event this year!

Please read this entire event description. There is a lot of important information.

Please read the details about the cost of this event, below in "Cost & Payment".

Find your inner monkey and join your fellow TOC members in the trees on the beautiful Oak Ridges Moraine in Oshawa, Ontario, at the only AERIAL tree top adventure park in the Greater Toronto Area. The course is an elevated obstacle course suspended between the trees at 10 to 50 feet off the ground.

There are several courses that are progressively more challenging. Some of the features of the courses include giant Tyrolean Zip lines, suspended bridges, swinging surprises, Tarzan swings, nets and much, much more.

There is a 3-hour time limit to complete the obstacle courses. This includes a ride on the BIG ZIP, which is 728 feet long!

TreeGo offers the best equipment in its class and sets the standard for quality aerial adventure products and customer experience.

Each participant is given a safety demonstration by a trained instructor before beginning the course and will receive full instruction on how to safely traverse the courses.

For those of you who haven't tried treetop trekking, this is a great chance for you to experience the exciting thrills.
