TreeStuff's Jambo

Jambo is a tree climbing competition as well as a festival and learning opportunity for arborists. Beginning in 2014, Jambo has become a world-renowned competition, with 60 arborists competing in teams for a $5,000 cash grand prize. Jambo also includes arborist challenges, training classes, camping, food, and more, all open to the public.

Two Worksite Challenges: A four-person team competes to ring as many bells as possible in the shortest time, simulating a real work environment with the addition of unique challenges.

Two Rigging Challenges: Four-person teams must choose the tools they'll use to demonstrate their rigging skills. They'll have to raise, lower, and move logs large and small.

Rotating Side Games: These side games include obstacle courses hanging from cranes, landing precision swings, and even driving mini-loaders. Jambo side games famously test arborists' skills far beyond normal competitive activities! These awesome side games are also open to the public, so stop by and give it a shot.

Congratulations to our champions, Return of the M.A.C.K!
