Special thanks to the families who attended last weekend\u2019s potluck at Old Roslyn Lake (aka BREC). Over 200 friends and families enjoyed fellowship around the campfire! Listening to our students&#8217; favorite stories, we felt the insight, humor, and wonder each young Tracker brings. They remind us why Trackers exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Family Camping at BREC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At our end-of-year potluck, we discussed future hopes for BREC\u2014the natural area from Trackers camps. We envision a new kind of wilderness park where the community can gather for camping with like-minded friends and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We aim to create opportunities for family camping and caretaking on weekends. Trained Family Hosts could open BREC for community members in a shared camping village. Kids can freely roam with friends while applying skills they&#8217;ve learned with Trackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make this vision a reality, it must be co-created as a family-led, family-organized village. If you&#8217;re interested in helping cultivate community camping at BREC or want to learn more, please <a href=\"https:\/\/trackerspdx.com\/youth\/school-year\/questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contact me (Molly)<\/a> to start the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>20 Years of Trackers &amp; Connections<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, next year&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/trackerspdx.com\/youth\/school-year\/transported-after-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">After School (NE &amp; SE)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/trackerspdx.com\/youth\/school-year\/apprenticeships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Weekend Apprenticeships<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/trackerspdx.com\/youth\/school-year\/homeschool\/trackers-outdoor-homeschool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Homeschool<\/a> programs are open for registration. As part of Trackers\u2019 next 20 years (yes, it\u2019s been that long), we\u2019re focusing even more on our long-term mentoring programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of 20 Years of Trackers, don\u2019t forget to <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/W2nPCzmajBk65heo7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RSVP<\/a> for our 20th Anniversary Picnic Celebration on September 7.
