Leadership Training

Become a Leader-in-Training. As you delve into the Trackers Skills of your choice, our top Guides mentor you in outdoor leadership and in contributing to our broader learning community. Select the Leader-in-Training Apprenticeship that interests you:

Outdoor Homeschool LIT: Learn Trackers Skills while helping inspire and connect with younger homeschoolers. Train in archery and wilderness survival, care for farm animals, go fishing and boating, and delve into Trackers Lore as a leader for the next generation.



Leadership Skills

Leaders-in-Training (LITs) step up within the Trackers community, gaining hands-on leadership experience while learning from mentors and guides. They connect with and inspire younger Trackers under supervision, passing on knowledge from one generation to the next. This blend of learning and leadership sharpens their skills and prepares them to be future mentors.

Bonus Summer Camps

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

Expectations

LITs inspire and connect with younger Apprentices in supervised settings. They must always be kind, thoughtful, and adhere to our code of care. Meeting these expectations ensures success in the program and future LIT opportunities. If expectations are not met, participation will be reassessed to maintain a positive environment for all.
