Leadership Training

The Leader-in-Training (LIT) Apprenticeship is an educational experience designed for youth exploring outdoor leadership and community connection. As students practice Trackers skills, experienced Guides mentor them in teamwork, communication, and stewardship. Choose the Apprenticeship that inspires you:

Leadership Skills

Leader-in-Training (LIT) Apprentices develop leadership through guided, hands-on experiences. They practice responsibility, collaboration, and communication while learning from mentors and Guides. Under supervision, they connect with and inspire younger Trackers—passing on curiosity and care within a structured, educational setting.

Bonus LIT Summer Camps

Leader-in-Training Apprentices receive four optional free weeks of Leader-in-Training Summer Camps with their year’s tuition.

Expectations

Leader-in-Training (LIT) Apprentices model kindness, awareness, and teamwork as part of our Code of Care. They participate in supervised mentorship settings—never as staff or substitutes—and focus on learning and growth. Meeting expectations ensures a positive experience and future opportunities; if not, participation may be reassessed to support the group’s well-being.

Our Team

Experienced Trackers Mentors lead this program. Each day, they help students build deeper connections with each other, their community, and nature.

Our Place

For Apprenticeships, we use buses or vans to journey from our drop site to authentic wilderness locations, featuring local forests, 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.
