Teen Camps | Portland, Oregon
Our teen camps challenge you to learn new skills. At Trackers we offer adventures that truly set us above other programs for teens.
One week you may go kayaking, the next you could make your own wooden longbow while training archery. You can embark on an overnight adventure to learn wilderness survival or homesteading crafts or train leadership skills by working with younger campers as Counselor in Training.

Top 5 reasons to join Trackers Tween camp and Teen camp...
1) Convenient location in SE Portland (Sellwood) For our day camps we offer drop-off within minutes of most Portland neighborhoods. This is also were we provide free shuttle service to many of our overnight locations.
2) We have real adventures Compare the goals of our program with any other teen camp out there. Tweens and teens are looking for camp experiences that respect who they are. Our program challenges teens with new outdoor and leadership skills.
3) Smaller group sizes We have an average of 25% smaller group sizes than standard teen camps. This provides more thoughtful attention and learning for a teen. Camp with Trackers is always personal and real.
4) A student's competency is respected. We believe teenagers are capable of so much more than our modern culture asks of them. We raise the bar of challenge and accomplishment. Our opportunities are epic and our expectations are great.
5) Team leadership skills We use collaborative learning models along with teaching theater presence to help foster effective leadership skills. In training traditional crafts such as wilderness survival and homesteading, students gain both confidence and competency.
