Adaptive Tree Climbing: Hoyer Sling
Explore the tree-tops and enjoy a new view of your Metroparks at beginner-friendly try-it programs, relax with hammocking at height programs, or make unique memories during guided canopy tours, night climbs, overnight snoozes at height, and more! Adaptive tree climbing gear is available by request at all tree climbing programs, but certain climbing trees are more accessible than others. Please tell us your needs at the time of registration, but no later than 72 business hours prior to the program. For additional information or questions, please contact Metroparks staff by calling 419-407-9700 or by using this email form.
A hoyer sling distributes a climber's weight across a large surface area and provides support and stability for climbers with paralysis or weak muscle control. The hoyer sling can be used with or without a spreader bar to customize the fit of the sling. This gear is available by advanced request at any climbing program.
