THE WOODLANDS, TX – It’s spring break coming up for students – and faculty – of Conroe Independent School District, and parents and guardians everywhere are wondering what to do with their little loved ones.

The Woodlands is renowned for its spring break camps, but how about some camp-free connections for the entire family?


Now, Woodlands Online is keenly aware of the sheer number of amazing spring (and summer and winter) break camps that are offered throughout the area; in fact, our Events Calendar is chock full of them. However, sometimes camps aren’t the answer – or at least the complete answer - and we know that the discriminating Woodlander parent wants choices. So, here is a sampling of some non-camp fun that you, the kiddos, and the family can enjoy while Conroe ISD takes a collective breath for the week.

Swing Into Spring with Texas TreeVentures Spring Break
Add some nature and adventure to your Spring Break with a climb at Texas TreeVentures. Located in Creekside Park in The Woodlands behind the Recreation Center at Rob Fleming Park, Texas TreeVentures is the perfect place to take your friends and family and get outdoors.

Standing at over 40 feet tall, Texas TreeVentures is an aerial adventure course with 69 elements to climb through and five TruBlue auto-belays to attach and experience a controlled jump to the ground! With the varying difficulty in elements and three levels at 20, 30 and 40 feet, it offers the perfect three-hour adventure for skill and comfortability of all types. There are age and weight requirements, so be sure to check those out before heading to the trees.

Texas TreeVentures is open every day during spring break and Friday through Sunday and holidays while school is in session. Hours vary. Please go to www.texastreeventures.com to view the live availability calendar and to make your reservation. Reservations are strongly encouraged as walk-up bookings may be unavailable. You can also call Texas TreeVentures at 281-210-2048 with any questions.
