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 shuttles 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.

Mentoring Programs

Guides mentor Apprentices in Trackers skills that foster teamwork, independence, and connection to the natural world. Our curriculum is tailored to each age group and adapts creatively to the interests of each team. Teams usually include four to eight Apprentices who are closet in age. If you would like friends placed together within the same grade range, please send a friend request.
