Welcome to Part 4 of what to expect at Trackers this summer. This update introduces the final element in the Game of Tracking: the Trackers Journal. While the Relics<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0are our game pieces for the Game of Tracking, the activity journal is the board.<\/p>

Remember, if you\u2019re registered for a Trackers program, you will also get a reminder letter specific to your program just before it starts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This update introduces the Trackers Journal. Each Tracker (youth and guide) in a week-long program that takes place outdoors will receive their very own Trackers Journal. The journal works like a mini graphic novel full of Trackers lore, missions, nature secrets, treasure hunts, and more! It\u2019s also a field guide with illustrations of key plants, birds, and tracks to help youth ID everything they are tracking. Last but not least, it\u2019s an awesome coloring book even adult coloring enthusiasts would envy!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

At the end of the week, the Journal goes home with your Tracker. It can be autographed by friends in their Trackers Team, Guides, Guardians (that\u2019s you), and even Elders (grandmas, grandpas, aunties, and uncles). Anyone they share their stories with. If you want more Journals, they will be available from Trackers. The goal is for kids to use their Trackers Journal to create their own independent adventures with friends in the outdoors. Finishing 52 Journals brings you to Trackers Level 2. Upon reaching Level 2, kids get a new Band [[LINK]] and are celebrated at Trackers for their awesome accomplishment!<\/p>
