Firelight, archery, music & community—every Thursday night.
Trackers Skills Night Begins March 5 — A New Thursday Tradition!
We received an incredible response to our A Wonderful World With Trackers. After publishing it, I had quite a few conversations with parents at pickup, over email, and even by the campfire. Our conversations always gravitated toward one crucial notion: families want real-world places where kids can connect with friends, practice real skills, and grow together outdoors.
Trackers Skills Night is our next simple step in that story. It’s where the world we’re imagining becomes something you can walk into on a Thursday evening—hear the music, feel the fire, meet your people, and watch nature skills turn into confidence.
Our Four Guilds, Made Real
Each Skills Night is rooted in hands-on outdoor craft shared across our Four Guilds. Rangers practice wilderness survival and forest craft. Mariners navigate maps, knots, and shoreline skills. Wilders cultivate homesteading, plant knowledge, and self-reliance. Artisans bring making, mending, and storytelling that turn our group into a learning community.
This isn’t “watch a demo and go home.” This is real practice alongside our expert Guides and teen students in Trackers A-Team.
Music, Firelight, Friends + A Little Weird Magic
Skills Night is layered by design. There’s a lot going on, and you can choose to do as much or as little as you want. Families can bring potluck dishes to share. Some evenings, you’ll hear live acoustic music. Our Open Archery Range runs so you can step up and loose arrows. And every fourth Thursday, the Scout Pit transforms into our Open Goblin Market—a Trackers family favorite where kids and adults trade small handmade or found treasures—a playful reminder that imagination is a skill, too.
Along the way, you might start the Trackers Trail—a real-world, live-action Game of Tracking with bandanas, badges, and ways to level up in skill, responsibility, and leadership. It’s open to both kids and adults.
What This Can Grow Into
This is also where something bigger may begin. Skills Night is the first gathering point for the Trackers Lodge—a place where families, neighbors, and friends get to organize their own small Trackers Teams—crews of 4–8 kids who choose to practice together beyond camp. Over time, those crews can grow into community skill days and shared adventures at Camp Roslyn, our 341-acre wilderness site in Sandy, Oregon.

One evening becomes a rhythm. A rhythm becomes a crew. A crew becomes community.
See you in the forest,
