The School of Magic

Everyone else has left for spring break. You and your friends are the only ones left to walk the hallowed halls and enchanted woods of the Trackers Campus. You're expecting a simple spring break of sunshine and flowers. Yet at the Trackers School of Magic it never goes as planned...

Dark wizards are trying to steal the "Life of Spring" and its up to you and your house to ask the resident teachers, magical creatures and the wilds of Enchanted Oaks Bottom to help to stop them.

Please read every word on this page together with your child. Especially "A Good Fit?"

Our Philosophy for Learning & Living

A Smile

We help children to feel like that group of kids wandering country backyards 50 years ago: independent, tired, muddy, wet and happy from the woods and wild. We are acutely aware of full and real hazards of the out of doors after years of working in environmental education. We try to move away from the highly structured and limiting tolerances of conventional environmental education while keeping kids truly safe but not encapsulated from, or phobic of nature. We are deep patriots to the value of offering guided yet very free and transparent experiences for kids. We believe it is okay to be thirsty at times, cold at times, and wet at times. It builds empathy and care for the gifts of life. It fosters adventure and sincere accomplishment. We also believe it is critical to feel supported and cared for as they truly explore their passion and responsibility. And through a healthy life immersed in nature, they test the limits and great potential of the often untapped physical and emotional resiliency they possess.
