Why: I attended a tree building workshop in the spring of 2021 in order to prepare to develop and build out Awakening Adventures. Since then I’ve built 6 structures in the trees including a 2 room treehouse shower, treehouse cabin and observation platform with a 2 stage bridge. I love people and sharing what God has given me.
Cost: $100 w/any lodging stay or $200 for the class only. Maximum of 8 people


We will be building a patio deck in 3 trees from start to finish about 4 feet of the ground at our stargazer campsite. You will learn many aspects of building in the trees including:

  • Tree Selection and Evaluation
  • Allowing for tree growth, motion and clearances
  • Beam and Joist Layout considerations including using a water level
  • Cost saving ideas that don’t compromise safety
  • Where to buy your tree hardware supplies
  • Knowledge and examples of future maintenance required

After the workshop you should be equipped to take on your own tree building project. We will have a question and answer session at the end of the workshop. We can also do a walk thru on the property to answer questions about any of the other tree builds. When booking your stay just include a note that you want to attend the workshop and we will add the cost to your lodging. Use the form below to registar if you won’t be lodging with us and we will invoice you for the cost. What to bring: Work clothes, Gloves, Eye protection, drill(optional) and a notepad.
