Arborcamp
The program for Arborcamp 2010 has been finalised: from the 19th – 21st of March the VTIO will be hosting a range of activites, competitions, talks and events in beautiful surroundings, to which you and your friends and family are all invited.
It all starts on Friday the 19th March, with a series of workshops, talks and activities on Dealing with Fire-Damaged Trees. At the same time, there will be a full program of children’s activities and of course the ever-popular big swing and crate-climbing.
On Saturday there will be more climbing workshops: Scott Sharpe will be running a workshop on SRT Systems, whilst Mark Haywood deals with the challenge of conducting a pole-rescue. You can try your hand at a Masters’ Challenge in the VTIO Open Masters’ competition, or learn about planting and pleaching. Of course, the kids are catered for with a full day of events and competitions.
The VTIO would also like to take this opportunity to thank our gold sponsor: Cannings Outdoor Power Equipment of Mt Waverley. Cannings has been a leading importer, manufacturer, distributor and retailer in the Outdoor Power Equipment Industry for over 45 years. They are importers and suppliers of high quality Yale ropes, world standard climbing gear and industrial height safety equipment and techniques. Their sponsorship allows the VTIO to put on events such as Arborcamp and the annual climbing competition, and to continue to look for other ways of supporting the industry in Victoria.
You can now register for Arborcamp online, and pay in advance using your credit card. Visit the registration page here for more details.
