School trip to Treetop Trek Manchester
Treetop Manchester is a place where children can safely challenge themselves in the high trees, providing a great way to build important life skills such as teamwork and overcoming fear as well as having enormous fun in the high trees! Why not bring your classroom outdoors and adventure in the treetops?
Located in the vast woodland of Manchester’s Heaton Park, Treetop Manchester is easy to get to by coach, car or public transport.
They can accommodate very large groups of children of mixed ages and abilities, including children with additional learning or behavioural needs. They are big believers in the benefits of getting children outdoors all year round, rain or shine!
Outdoor education can reach new heights at Treetop Manchester with two fantastic aerial adventures to choose from: Treetop Trek and Treetop Nets:
Treetop Trek catering for school trips
A spectacular woodland high ropes adventure where you can swing, climb, balance and zip your way through their 35 aerial challenges! Reaching a jaw-dropping height of 15m, children will need to use their agility, balance and coordination as well as conquer fears and support each other to complete this highly rewarding course. There are two treks to choose from: the full ZipTrek with 35 aerial challenges, including 15 zip lines or the shorter, lower Mini Trek.
Treetop Trek is a hugely exciting and confidence building activity which enables students to take part in an outdoor and adventurous activity which presents intellectual and physical challenges. They will be encouraged to work as a team, building on trust and will need to work together to help each other overcome fears and complete the course. The course will help children develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance as well as give them a chance to get active outdoors in the spectacular woodland of Heaton Park.
The Trek is a highly rewarding experience for all, particularly for children who find it more difficult. With the full support of our ERCA qualified instructors and encouragement from peers and teachers, even the most fearful child will be able to enjoy and complete the trek.
Treetop Nets
Their unique high nets enable children to adventure outdoors and have tremendous fun in the treetops and are suitable for children as young as 3 but immense fun for all ages!
On their bouncy trampolines, walkways, slides and tunnels, all made of netting, you can safely explore the trees, reaching heights of up to 15m. As it is all enclosed within 4m net walls, there is no need for harnesses, making it suitable for all ages to enjoy an adventurous activity beneath a woodland canopy without needing any previous skills or experience. This highly active adventure is immense fun for everyone.
Suitable for ALL KEY STAGES
Treetop Nets combines outdoor adventure with fun and play, helping children develop fitness, flexibility, strength and agility in their bouncy nets. Children will need to get used to the height and use their balance to stay upright and will use a lot of energy moving around the nets! The Treetop Team will help coordinate games and activities, so you can make the most of your visit. Being high in the trees is a great way to experience nature and observe the changing seasons as well as be active outdoors and have a tree-riffic time together!
