What is your Covid-19 policy?

Completed COVID-19 Vaccination or exception with verification and Central Background Registry with your State are required. The safety of our kids, staff, and extended Trackers family is our top priority. Since the onset of Covid-19, we have continuously operated programming. We continue to review guidance from the CDC, State and Local health authorities, and recommendations from the American Camp Association to deliver the safest and most rewarding experiences possible. Our programs are designed to be flexible and we will update you as guidelines or policies change. See our full policy here.



About Trackers

Since 2004, kids and extended families in all their forms have journeyed on adventures with Trackers Earth and our Guides. We share the Arts of Tracking through stewardship and enduring outdoor skills.

We commit to developing opportunity by respecting the diverse cultures and values of every Guide, youth, and family serving with us.

We endeavor to grow with families for the increased accessibility of these experiences.

We define ourselves by an ever deeper kinship to the more than human world, multi-generational character, and the principles discovered and found in the quietest moments with the forest.
