Summer Camps in Portland : Day & Overnight 2013

Top 5 reasons to choose Trackers Portland Summer Camps...

1) Real and compelling adventures Trackers Portland Summer Camps offer authentic experiences. We do not simply teach through games of tag or cue cards. We offer archery with expert instructors, go fishing by scenic rivers, build fires training outdoor survival, live a story in Middle Earth or harvest wild plants for homemade root-beer. Choose your camp theme and choose your adventure.

2) The best experience Trackers Earth is the original. Other camps offer themes similar to our School of Magic (ages 4-10), Stealth, Archery & Wilderness Survival (ages 6-14) or Archery Academy (ages 11-16). It is our years of experience that provides the highest caliber instruction and curriculum for both role-playing and traditional skill based summer camps.

3) Strong team and social skills Our groups are on average 25% smaller than other outdoor camps in Portland, with a staff to student ratio that allows for personal instruction. Counselor and campers become a strong learning team, making Trackers the most competent and profound summer camp experience available anywhere.

4) Awesome Extended Camp Free and optional morning extended camp is from 7:30am - 8:20am. Camp runs from 8:30am - 3:30pm with affordable After Camp options that go until 6pm. For overnight camps we offer our Weekend Adventures program for campers staying more than one week.

5) Confidently the Best Staff. We enlist only the best for our camp team. Our instructors set a new standard for professional and personal experience. All Trackers camp staff go through a thorough background check and a lengthy interview process. They are expert instructors teaching authentic skills.

"Hard to imagine any other camp that is this committed to the safety and enjoyment of the kids." -Andy & Monica White, Parents

"This has been the best camp! And, we've gone to a few! I have been telling everyone about it. I don't think you could have developed a more perfect camp experience for my son. Seriously… Honestly, I cannot think of enough words to describe how great this week was for Ethan. He was engaged, enthusiastic and exhausted at the end of the day. The storyline that his group developed was amazing and kept him thinking and connecting every night. I love the enthusiasm of Stewart. The patience and guidance he has with kids is inspiring. He has the ability to command a group of excitable kids safely and in a way that gets them thinking, creating and using their imaginations-- which is an under utilized skill (in my opinion). I loved how he made the whole camp adaptable to what the kids were interested in, and had the flexibility to flow with it. Fantastic job you guys!!!" -Erin Decristo, Parent
