Elves, Wizards & Rangers: Winter Role-playing Adventure
More winter break camps >
Role-playing Camp
Take the worlds of elves, rangers and wizards off the computers and back into the woods. Welcome to the Realms of Cascadia!
Trackers Earth presents a camp of truly epic adventure. For one day we step into the winter world of Cascadia, a land of magic, mystery and ancient ways. Your child particpates in a live-action roleplaying game where we find Elves, Faeries, Wizards & Rangers.
Adventure Beyond Imagination
This day both Oaks Bottom and the Willamette Valley becomes a long forgotten world. All the campers create and assume characters from their favorite fantastical fiction: Rogues, Elves, Healers, Paladins, Hobbit, Gnomes, Rangers and more. Trackers Earth instructors are your Realm Guides in a grand game of live action role-playing.
Live the Story
We discover, explore and pay homage to the fantastical worlds or literature: from J.R.R. Tolkien's epic Lord of the Rings Trilogy to more modern works and finally to traditional folktales and songs. There will be wizards, fantastic journeys, fellowships and an exploration into the greatest wonders of nature.
We bring literature to life by teaching the skills of our favorite fantastic characters...
Elves (tracking), Rangers (archery and wilderness survival), Hobbits (permaculture and ecology), Knights (foam swords), Gnomes (herbal medicine), Rogues (stealth) and Wizards (languages and "theater" magic).
Please read every word on this page together with your child. Especially "A Good Fit?"
Ages 9-10 The Sword of Aschoff Older campers make their own foam Ranger's sword and learn to wield is safely.
