Leadership Skills
Leader-in-Training (LIT) Apprentices step up within the Trackers community, learning through mentorship and hands-on practice. They connect with and inspire younger Trackers under supervision, passing on knowledge from one generation to the next. This blend of learning and leadership strengthens confidence and prepares them to guide others in the future.
Bonus Leader-in-Training (LIT) Summer Camps
Leader-in-Training (LIT) Apprentices receive four optional free weeks of Leader-in-Training Summer Day Camps with annual tuition.
Expectations
Leader-in-Training (LIT) Apprentices model respect, care, and curiosity in supervised settings. They demonstrate kindness, awareness, and responsibility as part of our code of care. Meeting these expectations supports success in the program and future opportunities. If expectations are not met, participation may be reassessed to ensure a positive and safe experience for all.
Our Team
Experienced Trackers Mentors lead this program. Each day, they help students build deeper connections with each other, their community, and nature.
- Expertise in mentoring and Trackers skills.

Our Place
We journey from Trackers HQ to wilderness locations by buses and vans with trained drivers. Our destinations include Trackers' private 351-acre wildlife park, our 100-acre farm and forest, other wilderness sites. When the weather calls for it, we might choose to stay closer to home, learning hands-on folk crafts in our art studios and visiting nearby nature parks.

Apprenticeships meet one weekend a month from fall to spring for a total of 9 field days plus Graduation. To offer flexibility, we provide multiple schedule options.
Returning Apprentices rejoin their group by selecting the schedule with their Fellowship name. New Apprentices may join any available group in their age range.
