The 'Crow's Nest' is a 12-metre-high single pole climb featuring a platform that provides participants with a breathtaking view of the forest canopy and surrounding environment. Under the supervision of qualified instructors, participants ascend the pole one at a time, engaging in a 'challenge by choice' climbing activity designed to foster confidence, courage, resilience, and the ability to overcome personal challenges within a supportive team-building environment. This activity not only expands perspectives of the forest from a canopy level but also emphasises the importance of safety, wellbeing, personal growth, teamwork, and active participation in outdoor settings. By engaging in this physical activity, participants will refine movement skills, enhance problem-solving abilities, and understand factors influencing participation and wellbeing in natural environments, all while promoting health and safety.
