And each dream is unique, as are the obstacles and challenges that accompany them.
Whether you’re a camp owner who wants an exciting and challenging way to engage your campers, an existing attraction owner who wants to expand what they offer the visiting public, or a group of people who imagine a zip line canopy tour or aerial adventure park in a beautiful location that will connect people with the planet in an exciting and compelling way, you have a dream.

So chances are that – whatever your dream – we can help you realize it.
So dream! And we’ll be here to help you give it wings.
Zip Lines
No adventure-based activity seems to have captured the attention of the general public and the attractions and amusement sectors quite like Zip Lines have in the past decade! This popularity and has driven the birth and massive growth of the commercial aerial adventure industry, that since, has spun off many other adventure experiences and structures like the extremely popular aerial adventure park.
Sometimes, all the dream requires is a stand-alone zip line! Configured as a single span or multiple parallel spans, the stand-alone zip line is equally at home at a camp or retreat center as it is in a commercial attraction setting.
Our stand-alone zip lines incorporate a platform-to-platform design that dramatically increases throughput, and enhances not only the rider experience, but also increases patron and staff safety by eliminating the need for ladders or other apparatus for zip line dismount.
If your dream includes a zip line, the stand-alone zip is the most cost-effective option to add this exciting and popular adventure to your camp or attraction!
Sometimes, one just isn’t enough! Zip Line/Canopy Tours connect multiple spans of zip lines together with towers, suspension bridges, and other adventure structures to create a linear adventure experience like no other. They can be tree-based, installed on artificial structures, or a combination of both. Zip Tours can be scaled down to fit a small footprint, or massive, sprawling projects that traverse valleys and watercourses, covering many acres.

Aerial Adventure Parks
Self-guided aerial adventure parks arose in Europe early in the new millennium and quickly exploded in popularity across the US, becoming the second most popular commercial adventure projects we install, after Zip Lines.
The beauty of aerial adventure parks is the varied way that they can be designed to accommodate a wide variety of demographics, from small children through adults, and can minimize staffing requirements through the use of 100% tie-off/continuous belay systems. They are scalable and expandable, which makes it possible for them to be used in different ways in response to patron demand and staff availability.
Built using existing trees, artificial structures like utility poles, or a combination of both, the versatility and design options for aerial adventure parks are limited only by the imagination and budget. They are also perfect for the established attraction, resort, hotel, or park that would like to expand their amenities to include an aerial adventure component, but have limited space.

Climbing Structures
There’s just something exhilarating about climbing something! Kids are drawn to it automatically; on the couch, the coffee table, the backyard tree, and the neighborhood boulder!
So naturally, one of the most logical additions to most any program is a climbing structure, whether it’s a bouldering wall, outdoor climbing tower, or indoor climbing wall, a climbing structure is sure to be a popular addition.
And like the advent of the 100% tie-off/continuous belay system for Aerial Adventure Parks and High Rope Challenge Course, advances in technology have opened up many visual and operational possibilities for climbing structures. New surface creation techniques that mimic real rock and auto-belays not only add to the visual appeal of climbing structures, but increase their throughput and operational efficiency.
