About the Aerial Forest Park
The Aerial Forest Park (AFP) is a new concept in the U.S., but in Europe (France, Switzerland, England, Austria, and Germany) it has become a very popular experience for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages. Families, friends and individuals are involved in healthy outdoor activities, building strength, endurance, and confidence. They provide an opportunity for everyone to enjoy the outdoors and the beauty of nature. These parks contain courses made of small platforms constructed at various levels in the trees. The platforms are connected by different types of bridges (that represent obstacles) and participants, using safety harnesses, maneuver from platform to platform. The parks operate with virtually no negative environmental impact and the trees (our most important assets) are well cared for and protected.
Challenge and fear are two of the most common misconceptions when people hear the term "ropes course." An aspect that we may forget about these courses is how much fun they can be and how they help build character and strength among the participants. As a matter of fact, majority of the clients of ropes course builders design and build the facilities for group activities wherein participants can compete with one another.
Safety is not compromised in the ropes course, because each activity has a different set of goals and objectives including well-trained facilitators. Ropes course builders also need to meet certifications and in order to fully operatean aerial park or becoming members of groups and organizations such as the Association for Challenge Course Technology.
Dealing with clients that require high ropes course construction is more challenging because of the greater risks involved mentally and physically as compared to a low ropes course. In order to surpass this type of ropes course, the ropes course design should be carefully outlined and planned- from the analysis to marketing. When building a course for the first time, consult a company with experience and training to ensure a competitive, safe and cost-effective aerial park.

A ropes course can help train a person physically, mentally and emotionally. Designed to be a bit demanding yet very productive activity, ropes course builders also train facilitators that are well-versed about precautionary measures so participants are safe all the time. Aside from physical strength, problem solving and analytical skills are also improved.
When planning to hire a ropes course construction company for the first time, one should get in touch with professionals that offer comprehensive services from analysis and planning, to construction and marketing and promotions. In line with this, training manuals are also provided for the management and facilitators of the ropes course.
We are a proud member of the Association for Challenge Course Technology
