Our Guides meet kids where they\u2019re at to have the best camp experience.<\/p><p>When looking for a camp on our website, you will find programs organized into four levels: Rovers (Grade K-1), Camp (Grade 2-5), Leadership (Grade 6-9 &#8211; day camp) and Overnight (Grade 4-5, 6-8, 9-12 &#8211; residential camp). These levels are designed for different ages and developmental needs. They are consistent across all types of camps and adventures.<\/p><p>For example, our <a href=\"https:\/\/trackerspdx.com\/youth\/camps\/summer-camp\/rangers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rangers Guild: Stealth, Archery and Wilderness Survival<\/a> camps teaches kids stealth, archery and (you guessed it) wilderness survival skills for all age groups. But the way skills are taught is tailored to the specific age of the campers.<\/p><ul><li>Rovers Rangers is for grades K-1<\/li><li>Rangers Camp is for grades 2-5<\/li><li>Rangers Leadership is for Middle &amp; High School grades<\/li><li>Rangers Overnight is a backcountry camping adventure for grades 4-5, 6-8 and 9-12.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong>\u00a0For all Overnight Camps, students sleep in their own personal tent!<\/p><p>Another example would be our <a href=\"https:\/\/realmsadventures.com\/portland\/youth\/camps\/summer-camp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Realms<\/a> camps, which teach outdoor skills but in a fantasy role-playing land filled with elves, wizards and dragons. For the youngest campers, there is Rovers Realms. For elementary aged campers, there is Realms Camp. For middle and high school campers there is Realms Leadership and Realms Overnight.<\/p><p>Got it?
