Building Skills and Friendships
At Trackers, we believe that learning shouldn’t stop when summer ends. Which is why we’re always excited to offer our year-round Apprenticeship programs, designed to help kids continue developing their skills and friendships throughout the school year. Running one weekend a month from September to May, these programs provide an incredible opportunity for children to deepen their connection to community and nature.
Friend Connections
One of the most rewarding aspects of our Apprenticeship program is the friendships that blossom among participants. I’ve witnessed firsthand how my own children have formed lasting bonds with their peers while engaging in shared adventures. The team environment fosters a sense of belonging, and many Apprentices return year after year, creating a supportive community that thrives on shared experiences.
Skills & Nature Connection
Each Apprenticeship is tailored to offer a unique set of skills, but they all have one thing in common: they immerse kids in the wonders of the natural world. As children explore the outdoors and learn traditional crafts, they also absorb important life lessons in resilience, thoughtfulness, and mutual respect. These experiences not only enhance their practical skills but also instill a profound appreciation for nature and the environment.
Leadership & Mentoring
Our long-term goal is to cultivate leadership skills and a sense of stewardship in our young participants. Our experienced educators serve as mentors, guiding students to take ownership of their learning journey. By encouraging self-discovery and responsibility, we empower children to grow into confident leaders who are passionate about their community and the world around them.
