 Working for Trackers Earth is a great chance to build excellent professional connections and participate in many learning opportunities. Summer Educators and Mentors are needed to create thoughtful, challenging adventures in outdoors, story, and folk wisdom. Prospective staff members must have the know how—or a great willingness to learn—diverse skillsets such as wilderness survival and bushcraft, farm craft and homesteading, archery and bow making, kayaking, fishing and foraging, live action role playing (LARPing), martial arts, zombie survival, rock climbing, and blacksmithing. Training for the majority of staff members begins in early June with the summer season running late August. Trackers pays more for day and overnight camps than comparable industry organizations!
