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.
