20 Years of Trackers

Celebrate Connection, Community, and the Land

Two decades have passed since our Trackers community began, rooted in a core belief of connection—between people, across generations, with nature—and with an understanding of what we are capable of together. As we celebrate 20 years of Trackers, we reflect on what we’ve accomplished together with parents, kids, the community, and the more-than-human world.

This celebration is more than an anniversary party; it’s a convergence of kindred spirits who understand that the greatest gift we can offer our children and ourselves is the connection we forge with each other and the natural world. In a time when digital communication often replaces real conversation, and the internet pulls our attention away from the people in our lives, the importance of what we do at Trackers has never been more critical.
 

Celebrate With Us!

Help celebrate 20 years of Trackers by coming together to share food, stories, and community connections. Join us for:

• Free Range Kids Claim your family’s spot in the picnic field at the beautiful 341-acre Bull Run Education Center (BREC) in Sandy, OR. Let the kids roam the woodlands, finding new and old friends to explore with in free-range packs. Track elk, deer, bobcats, and coyotes. Remember, BREC is your land too!
• Community Potluck The food we share reflects our love and respect for our community. Bring your best potluck dish, prepared with your kids, and please label all ingredients for allergy safety. Don’t forget your own utensils and dishes to keep trash low and cleanup easy.
• Goblin Market Ask your kids—they’ll likely know what this is! Goblin Market is where families trade treasures like leftover baubles, precious sticks and rocks, and hand-crafted items. Enjoy music and merriment. Remember, the best trinkets are found or made—not bought—and all trades are final!
• Campfire Gather around the campfire to share memories with Trackers families, staff, and the community. Reflect on our stewardship and deep connection to nature that will sustain us and future generations. Learn about future hopes for Trackers Earth, the Trackers Foundation, and the land.

Join Us For What Lies Ahead

As we gather to celebrate 20 years of Trackers Earth, we also recommit ourselves to the work that lies ahead. We recommit to building a community that is inspiring, focused, connected, and leading the way forward in helping humans connect to the natural world. We recommit to teaching our children—and reminding ourselves—that we must care for the land that cares for us.

We hope you’ll join us in this celebration, this recommitment, and this shared journey. Together, we’ve accomplished so much, and together we can do so much more. Here’s to the next 20 years of Trackers Earth! Here’s to connection, community, and the land that sustains us all.

See you in the forest,
