爬树课也并非厦门大学首创。多年前，美国康奈尔大学户外体育部就给学生提供爬树课程。康奈尔大学爬树协会（Cornell Tree Climbing Institute）开设多种课程，既有付费的日常娱乐教学课，也有赚学分的体育选修课。来看看课程介绍： PE Credit Tree Climbing 体育学分爬树课 Our PE credit courses are offered three times per semester in Ithaca, New York, and once a year in Costa Rica. Taught in a group setting, these courses cover the basics of tree hazard assessment, line placement, ascending, descending and moving around in the canopy. We visit several locations around the areas, sampling a few different environments and tree species. A much anticipated highlight of our local and international courses is the tree overnight. We have the option of camping out on our tree platforms or sleeping suspended in hammocks between branches of the same tree! All equipment is included in the course fee. 我们的体育学分爬树课每个学期在纽约伊萨卡三次，每年在哥斯达黎加一次。这么课程为团体教学，包含树木危险性评估、绳索放置、上升、下移、树木自由移动的基本知识。我们会去参观附近的几个户外地点，抽样勘察不同的环境和树种。值得期待的一点是，我们本地和国际课程都包含在树上过夜。我们可以选择在树下的平台上搭帐篷，或者在同一颗树的树枝间悬起吊床！所有的器材都包含在课程学费中。 |
