Who Are the Rangers?
A Ranger lives in the depths of the wilds. They keep a watchful eye, protecting and caring for the village. Their arts are Wilderness Survival, Tracking and Stealth. They can go anywhere, survive anyplace, track anything and move silently and stealthily throughout the forest.
The Trackers Rangers Guild is renowned for their incredible feats of nature skills and awareness. Ranger Apprenticeship is your next step on a journey into this fantastic world.
Ranger Camp Training
We begin by training in the essentials wilderness survival skills of shelter, water, fire and food. We learn how to take care of all our needs so it is not only sustainable, but our harvest actually helps the land around us.
We then learn to track both animals and even people. We follow deer, mountain lions, rabbits and more, creating a map of all the wildlife around us.
Finally, using our safe foam arrows and bows, under the leadership of our instructors we finish the week in a giant live action game of stealth.
Locations
This summer we offer drop-off and pick-up in north Oakland (near 580 and Highway 24)

A Day in the Program
We practice awareness skills in tracking, stealth and bird language and calls. We also spend time at local Archery Ranges training with bows and arrows. Through out journeys we develop the basics of many bushcraft skills such as fire by friction, shelter building and nature tools.
Whenever we introduce a skill we refine and test it with course challenges. Students work in a team to make decisions, complete group projects and overcome obstacles. These team skills are honed and put to the test throughout the camp.
