On the farm, look after local animals. On the water, enhance your fishing and boating skills. Delve into Trackers Lore as leader of the next generation.

Leadership Skills

Leaders-in-Training (LITs) are individuals ready to step up in roles within the Trackers community. While learning from their mentors and guides is their main focus, LITs also gain hands-on leadership experience. They occasionally have the chance to help guide younger Trackers under direct supervision, passing on knowledge from one generation to the next. This blend of learning and leadership not only sharpens their skills but also prepares them to be future mentors in our community.



Our Team

Our mentoring team includes our top Trackers staff featuring:

  • Expertise in mentoring and Trackers skills.
  • Low student-to-guide ratio facilitating personal, team-based learning.
  • Background checked with First Aid & CPR certification.
  • Trained in outdoor safety and the Trackers Earth curriculum.

Our Place

For Apprenticeships, we use buses or vans to journey from our drop site to authentic wilderness locations, featuring local forests, farms, and fishing spots. Each site is unique, specifically chosen for the day's activity, bringing kids to incredible places where they can both learn and grow in the skills Trackers teaches.
