NOW HIRING:
Coordinator Guide - Full-Time, Year-Round
Coordinator Guide - Summer Seasonal
First Off… The Conundrum We Deal With Together
Please apply for this role only if you meet the qualifications below—or if, after deep soul-searching and further reading, you feel 100% confident that you truly understand the philosophy that drives us. If you believe you can rapidly learn the ropes and help us continually Do It Better, we want to hear from you!
Smart people know what they don’t know. We also value Jacks of all trades, multidisciplinary learners, and autodidacts. This extensive job description is not meant to discourage anyone from applying—it’s meant to spark an honest conversation and set you up for success.
Second Off… The Entire Process Must Be Of Value To You!
While we realize the following job description may feel a bit like a manifesto, that’s not our intention. We need to be honest about the heart of what we do and care deeply about. Please read on if this applies to you, AND/OR if you simply appreciate our unique brand of humor, AND/OR if you’re a Dune fan.
BTW, you’ll find the full Qualifications & Responsibilities after the manifesto.
Maybe This Is You
You’re a Wilderness Educator, an Educator—and maybe even a Stoic from the Hellenistic philosophical tradition. Above all, you’re a Truly Helpful Human who understands how kids learn and is ready to push outdoor skills education even deeper. You evolve programs to always be Better, Faster, Stronger, keeping depth, integrity, and purpose at our core.
And you know what you’re getting into. Trackers is a gigantic, complex organization—both an opportunity and a grand challenge. You don’t just want to understand your lane; you want to see how it fits into the greater Trackers Ecology. This part is crucial: we run large-scale programs across multiple regions while fighting to keep them personal, meaningful, and deeply connected. That balance requires a curious mind willing to see beyond the day-to-day.
For this job to work, it must be the challenge you need. You thrive on the clockwork flow of an A-Team. You love it when a plan comes together. You wake up every day seeking intellectual challenge. Hopefully, you’re looking for a place where deep connections between kids, families, and the natural world come together to create something bigger than any one individual.
What We Need!
We need a Coordinator who can help our camps and classes run smoothly by every honorable means possible—someone who operates thoughtfully and thrives in a fast-paced, action-packed environment. Before considering whether Trackers is the right fit, it’s important to understand the scope of our programs:
- We have run camps and classes for over 20,000 youth and adults yearly.
- We have staff and programs across three regions—Bay Area, Seattle, and Portland.
- We offer 45+ unique camp themes from craft and skills programs to story adventures.
We recognize that camp programming at this scale is rare, so we welcome candidates with experience from programs of all sizes. What matters most is your honest reflection, informed confidence, and willingness to learn from the best practices we’ve honed over 20+ years.
Here We Do Hard Things! Because... Grit.
Our version of old-school outdoor education can be challenging—but kids need it now more than ever. Our staff understands this: Here, We Do Hard Things!
Because what we do is unique, Trackers programs can feel much harder and more complex than typical camps. We transport kids from urban areas to the wilderness. We operate in all weather conditions. We teach skills that demand both physical and mental competency—and grit. We guide kids as young as 5 years old to use woodcarving knives. We share skills many have forgotten—skills that might even scare some. We do hard things because we have to.
We believe the natural world is the best teacher. Nature teaches us to Be Gritty. Grit builds confidence, helps us overcome fear, and humbles us so we can truly appreciate the fantastic of what is wild. To fulfill this duty, we must embody it. And while embodying grit can be difficult at times, it is far more rewarding (and even fun) than always seeking comfort.
Who Trackers Is… And Do You Even Want to Work With Us?
At Trackers, we strive to be ambassadors for a world that needs to exist—a world where humans thrive through deep connections with family and friends. A world where multiple generations play and work together, where we respect our elders and give youth the chance to learn from their wisdom.
A world where caretaking for the more-than-human world defines our community. Where we care for the silent and invisible—waiting, motionless at the edge of the trail in the ferns—for a glimpse of a red fox.
You know, that kind of thing.
Oh Yeah… We Teach Badass Skills
At Trackers, we teach old-school outdoor skills. We offer award-winning youth and adult programs in wilderness survival, archery, fishing, homesteading, blacksmithing, and more. Our camps and classes are available as single-day sessions, week-long experiences, or 9-month mentoring programs.
What is Tracking?
We’re Trackers Earth because the Art of Tracking is at our core. It shapes how we approach wilderness survival, folk craft, foraging, storytelling, and so much more. It connects us to family, many generations, the more-than-human world, and even the Void (see The Book of Five Rings).
But tracking is more than following trails; it’s a way of seeing—mapping landscapes, recognizing patterns, and sharing survival skills. We teach kids and families to hunt, fish, and forage, fostering an intimate bond with the land through caretaking and deep nature awareness.
That’s what makes a Tracker.
The Four Guilds of Trackers
We divide our curriculum into Four Guilds because we know kids are inspired by fun stories.
- Rangers Guild: Rangers train to be ready through wilderness survival—crafting shelter, finding water, and building fire. They track animal trails to understand nature’s patterns.
- Mariners Guild: Mariners flow with nature, exploring waters through fishing, boating, and river navigation. They learn wayfinding to journey well by land and water.
- Wilders Guild: Wilders are caretakers, stewarding the land through forestry, homesteading, and foraging. They tend ecosystems by gathering sustainably.
- Artisans Guild: Artisans connect the team, crafting tools through woodworking, ceramics, and blacksmithing. They blend story with skill, deepening our connection to the land.
What Our Parents Say!
BTW, our parents recently voted for our new motto: Trackers Earth—Giving Kids Knives Since 2004!
But we’re Dune fans, so we’re partial to: Trackers Earth—the Gom Jabbar of Camps.
Key Responsibilities
Sharing Trackers Skills
The most important responsibility is to share Trackers Skills. Your primary goal is to foster a culture of mentoring where kids and all students continually develop independence and self-direction in these skills. This growth helps them better care for and connect with:
- Family & Community
- Many Generations
- The More-Than-Human-World
- The Silent & Invisible
By Silent & Invisible, we mean teaching students to move with fantastic powers of stealth and invisibility, fully blending into the forest. This fosters awareness and comfort with silence, allowing them to find connection in nature.
School Year Targets:
- Teach in our homeschool and apprenticeship programs
- Mentor youth, leading skills-based lessons in our Four Guilds (see above).
- Help mentor and train new educators in effective mentoring in outdoor skills.
- Work with the leadership team to plan and organize seasonal programs.
Summer Camp Targets:
- Coordinate a team of educators (usually 4-10) during summer.
- Ensure high-quality, kickass summer camp programs for staff and campers.
- Provide real-time feedback and mentorship to the staff you supervise.
- Oversee daily summer camp operations, proactively addressing needs.
Make Camp Go:
- Ensure all programs prioritize safety, implementing and refining safety protocols.
- Oversee logistics and gear, ensuring seamless team accountability.
- Foster a culture of stewardship—for the land, students, guardians, and each other.
- Innovate on the Tracking & Four Guilds curriculum alongside founders and staff, recognizing that storytelling is one of the most powerful learning tools.
Communicate With Curiosity:
- Communicate to a high degree with families and staff, caring for them and sharing what Trackers is all about.
- Cultivate a culture of curiosity—insisting that everyone asks better questions to understand the innate ecology of our organization.
- Create systems that encourage people to get offline and back into the real world, fostering face-to-face collaboration, problem-solving, and brainstorming.
- When not sharing an office or teaching for the full day, make it a priority to call our global Director or Founders daily for a check-in, progressively building your understanding of Trackers Ecology.
Qualifications
We definitely respect the Jack of All Trades but Master of None. At Trackers, we value multi-disciplinary learners and autodidacts—those who dive deep, connect disciplines, and thrive on self-directed learning. We’re not just looking for experts; we seek people who are always growing, knowing they can never be perfect.
Experience:
- 2+ years of experience in outdoor education or camp leadership.
- Experience working with team-building, survival skills, or hands-on nature connection.
- Prior team leadership experience preferred (e.g., summer camp leadership, school-based programs, or outdoor guiding).
- Given the specialized nature of our programs, prior experience with Trackers Earth is highly valued and will be a significant factor in candidate consideration.
Outdoor Skills:
You don’t need to be an expert in every skill, but you must understand their depth, potential, and importance to Trackers—and have a strong desire to grow in those areas.
A true expert in bushcraft, forest craft, folk craft, tracking, and nature connection has deep experience—not just basic exposure. Long-term, hands-on practice is essential. These represent the depth of skills we are looking for:
- Bushcraft & Wilderness Living Skills: Long-term self-sufficiency.
- Animal Tracking & Nature Awareness: Trailing animals & knowing track & sign.
- Flintknapping & Stone Tools: Crafting cutting tools with traditional techniques.
- Primitive Technology: Hide tanning, natural fiber processing, bow-making.
- Wildcrafting & Foraging: Knowledge of sustainable harvesting of edible plants.
- Naturalist Skills: Classic naturalist training in wildlife, botanical & ecological studies.
- Shelter Building: Debris huts, lodges & other land-based survival shelters.
- Fire Making: Bow drill, hand drill, tool-based & fire-building in wet conditions.
- Bird Language & Stealth: Reading alarm calls as sign & moving invisibly.
- Fishing, Hunting & Trapping: Ethical harvest using modern and traditional methods.
- Field Archery & Bowmaking: Bowmaking & practical field archery for hunting.
- Navigation & Boating: Orienteering & traversing with watercraft.
- Forestry & Homesteading: Food production & regenerative caretaking for the land.
- Traditional Mentorship: Direct, long-term learning from experienced practitioners.
While modern outdoor education may introduce some of these skills, Trackers Earth operates differently—not better, just different. We have deep respect for the following fields, recognizing them as sister programs doing phenomenal work. While we share many aspects, don’t view Trackers solely through their lens.
- Outdoor Recreation: Activities such as hiking, camping, and guiding that offer outdoor sports. While we integrate these skills, our curriculum goes beyond them to include forest craft, folk craft, and deep nature connection.
- Wilderness Therapy: Programs that use nature as a healing venue rather than for deep connection and community skill-building. These programs are invaluable and led by practitioners we deeply respect, but they are not our focus.
- Outdoor Education: General environmental science, ropes courses, team-building, and leadership training. While we share many components, our emphasis is on in-depth survival and foraging skills.
- Environmental Education: We value the impact of programs that emphasize advocacy or activism. However, Trackers teaches hands-on skills—hunting, fishing, and foraging—to help kids develop a deep care for the more-than-human world.
- STEAM Education: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math programs often approach nature through an academic lens. While we incorporate these elements, we prioritize experiential learning through outdoor skills and nature immersion.
- Forest Schools: Programs for young children centered on outdoor free play. This early nature connection is crucial, but our curriculum emphasizes skill development to foster broader outdoor independence for all ages.
- Summer Camps: We offer camps and deeply respect camp professionals who create incredible programs. While we share many structural and social aspects, our focus is on skills-driven, immersive learning through nature connection.

Education
Bachelor’s degree in education, program management, environmental sciences, or a related field. OR…
Education from a wilderness school, such as: Wilderness Awareness School, Tom Brown Jr.’s Tracker School, Roots School (Vermont), Ancient Pathways (Tony Nester), Boulder Outdoor Survival School (BOSS), Jack Mountain Bushcraft School, Rewild Portland, Teaching Drum Outdoor School, Earth Native Wilderness School, Ancestral Knowledge, Four Elements Earth Education, Twin Eagles Wilderness School, Wilderness Youth Project, Vilda, Woodlore, Green University, Living Wild (Lynx Vilden)
OR…
One of our founders dropped out of high school at 14 after reading Walden by Henry David Thoreau. Later, he earned a bachelor’s degree—mostly because he had nothing better to do. And even then, it was at Evergreen State College, where he designed his own curriculum.
Translation: We value real-world competence over formal credentials. Let’s repeat: we value multidisciplinary learners and autodidacts. We want capable, caring, adaptable people—the kind of folks we’d trust on our Zombie Apocalypse team.

Mutual Fit Period
Each season at Trackers brings new responsibilities. All new roles—including transitions from summer to fall—begin with a 90-day mutual fit period. This time supports feedback, training, and alignment in expectations, especially as school-year programs often require greater independence and long-term mentorship.
Physical Requirements & Certifications
This is a hands-on, field-based role. As a Trackers Guide, you could be outdoors daily—leading groups through forests, across uneven terrain, and in all types of weather. The work is active, immersive, and requires physical and mental stamina.
Physical Requirements
- Lift up to 50 lbs
- Hike 5–20 miles per day off-trail
- Remain on feet for extended periods in variable conditions
Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential job functions.

- Mandated Reporter Training (18+ in OR)
Additional Requirements
- State Fishing License (if assisting with fishing activities)
- Background check and references
- Valid driver’s license held for 2+ years
CDL Requirement - School Year & Adventure Camps
Coordinators are frequently responsible for transporting youth between program locations in 15-passenger vans or similar vehicles. When a Coordinator of transported programs does not possess a CDL, it creates significant additional cost and logistical complexity for the organization, including the need to hire and schedule additional licensed drivers. For this reason, a CDL with Passenger Endorsement is a core component of this role.
Eligibility Requirements
To operate Trackers Earth vehicles requiring a CDL, candidates must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Hold a valid U.S. driver’s license
- Have a clean motor vehicle record (MVR) for the past 3 years, with no major violations (e.g. DUI, reckless driving, license suspension)

If a candidate does not already possess the required CDL:
- It must be obtained within 4 months of hire
- And no later than 30 days before the start of required staff training or the Summer Season, whichever comes first
Training & Support
Trackers Earth provides training and certification support for qualified candidates. We are committed to equitable access and can assist with the licensing process, including test preparation and cost reimbursement, where appropriate.
Personal Attributes:
- You want to make common sense common again.
- You might be a Dune fan and you’re the Duncan Idaho of outdoor education (not required though).
- You have faith in kids' competence and remember what it’s like to be one!
Disclaimer
This job description does not constitute a contract of employment. Employment with Trackers Earth is at-will. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the job.
About Trackers
At Trackers, we help children feel like that group of kids wandering country backyards 50 years ago: tired, muddy, wet, independent, and happy from being out in the woods and exploring creeks. We are acutely aware of the real hazards of the outdoors, so we work to keep kids safe but not encapsulated from, nor phobic of nature. We believe children need to develop independence and competency in the wild—not only for their own connection, but also to contribute to their families, future generations, and the more-than-human world. We believe it is okay to be thirsty at times, cold at times, and wet at times. This builds empathy and care for the gifts of life, fostering true adventure and genuine accomplishment. We also believe it is critical for children to feel supported and cared for as they explore their passion for service and responsibility. Through a healthy life found in nature, they can test their limits and discover the great potential of the often untapped physical grit and emotional resilience they possess.
