Outdoor Recreation

There's a lot to do at Schönwald!

Schönwald is home to Piedmont Tree Climbing AND Swim with Coach Julie. At Piedmont Tree Climbing we have been teaching people to climb trees safely using ropes and harness since 2015.  There are many wonderful trees at Schönwald that new or experienced climbers can experience.  We host birthday party tree climbs and team building activities, too.  There is much more information about Piedmont Tree Climbing at www.piedmonttreeclimbing.org.

The Schönwald Aquatic Complex is home to Swim with Coach Julie in the the summer months. There is a 24,000 gallon heated pool that is a 22x42 foot oval with a wrap around deck and shaded pergola. In the summer months private tree climbing-pool party combos can be booked by contacting Coach Julie!

In addition to tree climbing, visitors to Schönwald will discover other fun outdoor activities such as 4 giant tree swings, a 240-foot zipline, nature trails, a trampoline, hayrides, campfires, and old-fashioned outdoor play for young and old including a giant see-saw, horseshoes, and other "frontier" games. 

There is a gender-neutral public restroom, private changing area and outdoor shower, as well as outdoor hand washing stations at Schönwald.
