Youth Day Camps: Spring March 23-29, 2008, 8:30am-4:30pm
Ages 6-8 & 9-10 Nature Superheroes: Boats & Tracks, Fire & Plants 5 Elements Week: Connections of Survival
Start by setting sail to the mysterious "Elk Rock Island" just south of Downtown Portland. Travel in our super secret traditional whaling boat. Once we get to shore we discover the tracks of the wildlife that lives there and work on wilderness survival skills: how to stay found, how to feel comfortable in the woods, make shelter and especially how to safely light a fire even if you have NO matches (simply by rubbing sticks together). And with Spring in full abundance we practice how to stay FAT on the land with wild edible plants. Every camper learns and practices our SHIFT: Kids Self-Defense, a fun and empowering learning experience designed to teach kids about staying safe everywhere they go! This is training that prepares us for the finale where Super Villains attack TrackersHQ and we must save it and the rest of the Willamette Valley!!!

Age Ranges
For 2008 we offer separate camps for students entering these specific age levels.
Lil' Possums Ages 4-5 The name says it all! Lil' Possums camps are a half day to give them the experience in the natural world while having a warm and sheltered base camp to go back to. We often bring in safe pet animals like gentle bunnies and the right reptiles to help the develop a close relationship with nature.
Coyote Rangers Ages 6-8 Coyote Ranges are there for adventure. We use storytelling telling, movement arts and nature exploration to foster the natural questions they have about the world.
Otter Players Ages 8-10 Otter Players explore a little more and a little further! They are often out and about the different greenspaces in the city with occasional BERRY picking trips to local farms.
Trekkers Ages 10-13 Otter Players explore a little more and a little further! They are often out and about the different greenspaces in the city with occasional BERRY picking trips to local farms and MORE!
TrackersRITES Ages 13-18 TrackersRITES says it all in the name! We are very excited to offer cutting edge experiences that ALWAYS fundamentally shift how YOUNG ADULTS feel about their vision for life. This "shift" is done with collaborative skills that bring out the inner nature of the person. Our instructors ALWAYS take care to RESPECT the personal and diverse beliefs of the families and young people we work with.
Base, Mobile and Overnight TrackersNW camps are a mix of Base, Mobile and Overnights. For Base Camps students come and remain on site for the day. For Mobile Camps they adventure abroad and return to base camp later that day. For Overnights students pitch camp in the experienced care of TrackersNW Staff.
Staff The skilled staff of TrackersNW includes experienced regional wilderness educators on the leading edge of place-based education. We are committed to safety and fun in unique outdoor education experiences.
