Become A Ranger
Rangers walk quietly and silently in the forest. Rangers act as scouts for the village. They are keen trackers and well versed in wilderness survival, bows and the ways of the animals.
Join the Rangers Guild
This is an action packed day of wilderness skills lead by our best Rangers.
Journey to local archery ranges, learning to fire a bow by steady arm and keen aim. Delve into the secrets of invisibility and stealth, blending with the ebb and flow of forest animals. Train wilderness survival skills, learning to travel with ease through the wilds with only the clothes on your back.
All this plus navigate by the sun and stars, craft your own tools and shelter and most importantly, using the ancient art of tracking to read the subtle signs of animals and nature.
Thanksgiving Bonus Camp November 22 The Trackers Rangers Guild is also teaching lesons during Thanksgiving Break.
Ages 9-10 Ranger Level Up Older campers train more advanced survival and tracking skills, including making and taking home their own bow drill set (fire with no matches).

A Day in the Program
We practice awareness skills in tracking, stealth and bird language and calls. We also spend time at local Archery Ranges training with bows and arrows. Through out journeys we develop the basics of many bushcraft skills such as fire by friction, shelter building and nature tools.
Whenever we introduce a skill we refine and test it with course challenges. Students work in a team to make decisions, complete group projects and overcome obstacles. These team skills are honed and put to the test throughout the camp.
