The Client Name
Technical Park DIrector

Ever wondered what our towns and cities would be like if children designed them?

Climbing Tree prides itself on engaging with children from design right through to construction. With a background in education our team is experienced in the diversity of children’s language – both spoken and unspoken. We believe that listening to the children’s voice serves as a great foundation for good design.

We also consider collaboration with children a design development process in its own right. We ensure that children are actively engaged and involved throughout the planning of our projects, and give them, our most important customers, a chance to critically reflect, form and express their own opinions about what we are creating for them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is nature play?

For too long schools have been institutions for the industrial capitalist society we live in and we have lost sight of the essence of life itself. According to studies by Nature Play SA, our children spend less than 2 hours a day outside and 87 percent of children spend more time playing indoors than outdoors. Additionally, in South Australia, children spend an average of 4.5 hours a day in front of a screen, exceeding the national average by half an hour! We are at a crucial point in history where we need to give our children valuable exposure to the natural world through initiatives such as Nature Play SA.

How can we expect the next generation to care for something they have had no exposure to? Children spend 7 hours a day for 13 years of their lives in schools so what a great opportunity to give these students just a little exposure to beautiful natural environments where they can play, learn, relax, and develop a love and understanding for mother nature and the great outdoors.
