April Vacation & Half Day Programs--ContinuedTREETOP ADVENTURES…High Ropes Course & Zipline ExperienceIn 4 wooded acres of the 45 belonging to the Irish Cultural Centre in Canton, MA, TreeTop Adventures is an aerial forest high ropes course consisting of more than 130 platforms installed in the trees and connected by various configurations of cable, wood, and rope to form bridges and zip lines. Groups of bridges link together to form separate trails. Although every trail has zip lines on them, you will need to climb to get to them. There is much more fun than just zip lining to be had! There are 10 trails in total for ages seven-adult. Each trail has varying difficulty levels ranging from beginner to expert. The experience is safe, fun, and most impor-tantly exciting!

TreeTop Adventures is all about active participation—there are no motorized rides in the park. The trails are designed for everyone to enjoy, and are designated as Yellow, Green, Blue, and Black, similar to ski trails. As one progresses through the difficulty lev-els, the bridges become less stable under your feet requiring more balance, agility, focus and arm strength. The trails range from easy (yellow) to expert (black) and so every age and fitness level will be able to find trails that are both challenging and achievable. Ages 7 to teens to adults to seniors find their comfort zone and seek greater challenges.

Bus will leave Veterans Memorial Building at 12:00 pm and return at 4:30 pm. You should pack a lunch, snacks and lots of water. Fee includes transportation. Wear comfortable cloth-ing and (very important) CLOSED TOED shoes. TreeTop Ad-ventures will remain open in light rain, so if the forecast calls for showers, bring a raincoat.Friday, May 5th!!!
