ARBCAMP 2026 — Build the Championship
May 18–24
ARBCAMP is a week-long volunteer and learning program built around the preparation and delivery of BSTCC 2026.
Participants do not simply assist at an event — they learn how a professional Tree Climbing Championship is built and operated.
ARBCAMP is designed for:
• Volunteers
• Technical crew members
• Judges in training
• Students and future competitors
• Arborists who want to understand competition structure and ISA standards
Throughout the week, participants gain:
• Practical experience setting up competition trees and rope installations
• Hands-on understanding of ISA TCC safety standards
• Insight into gear inspection and judging criteria
• Exposure to efficient work climb strategies and competition formats
• Real responsibility within a professional event environment
There is no separate student competition at BSTCC 2026.
ARBCAMP serves as the learning pathway toward future competitor and judge roles.
Participation is limited.
