Feedback to Grow By
At the end of each week the Program Mentor gives the Student Leader a written evaluation of their performance. We cover how the student was able to teach basic to complex outdoor educational skills, plus their leadership accomplishments for the all important social structure of the camp. Our staff makes signed copies of each evaluation available for use in portfolios for college admissions and other learning and professional goals.
Leadership Options
There is no other outdoor program like our camps. It is one of the highest levels of experience you can get in education and the outdoor field. From Zombie First Responder camps to Camp Trackers, being a Leader in Training at a Trackers Earth camp is like falling down the rabbit hole or stepping through the looking glass. Choose to be a Leader in Training for either our day camp, overnight camps or a combination of to two...
Day Camps Trackers Summer Day Camps are epic adventures. They raise the bar for how a day camp runs. Our themes are always intelligent and engaging, weaving savvy social commentary, nature and great theater into fun and engaging experiences. If you ever assisted at any other day camp, be prepared for something completely different at Trackers. Our Summer Day Camps offer direct mentorship from a Program Mentor (Lead Instructor). Together you are a team. Program Mentors guide you through their curriculum planning process while also setting you up to lead key activities.
Overnight Camps Because of the intensive nature of our overnight camps, this coveted learning opportunity is by invitation and appointment only. If you are returning LIT, than let us know about your interest in our overnight camps. If you are new to our program, please Contact Us if you feel you are good fit to learn as a Leader in Training in our overnight program.
Application and Standards
This program strives to be as fully inclusive as possible and we must insure that participants can meet the physical and emotional rigors of the course. Also, since the Leader in Training Program entails teens interacting with younger campers we insist on requisite background assessments that meet our high safety standards.
If any Leader in Training Program registrant does not meet these standards we reserve the right to refuse service and a full refund is given. If there are discipline issues with Leader in Training Program students, we will remove the camper from the program with no refund.
