staff training & development for zip lines and aerial adventure courses

Professional Staff Development, Guide Training & Facilitator Certification for Zip Lines, Canopy Tours & Aerial Adventure Parks

The success and safety of every zip line canopy tour, aerial adventure park, and challenge course depend on the skill, professionalism, and confidence of the staff. A well-trained team not only delivers an exceptional guest experience but also ensures that operations meet ANSI/ACCT or ASTM F2959 & F770 standards for safety and performance.
At AdventureSmith, Inc., we provide third-party staff development programs and guide training designed to help operators recruit, train, and retain qualified personnel. From participant orientation and interpretive storytelling to rescue procedures and equipment inspection, our courses build both the technical skills and interpersonal competencies your team needs to operate successfully.
Whether you’re launching a new park, training seasonal staff, or advancing the skills of experienced facilitators, we help you build a workforce that enhances safety, elevates guest satisfaction, and drives long-term success.
