Ninja Training

On the edges of Portland, masters await to guide you in the art of the Forest Ninja. Everyday you delve deeper into its ancient secrets.

This camp is about training diverse martial arts in some of the most beautiful natural areas in Portland. On each hill we climb, each dojo we enter and adventure we embark on, a master of an art awaits us. We practice both hard and soft styles: exploring martial arts from across the world.

All this plus the Trackers Rangers Guild introduces their specialised way of nature awareness, stealth and invisibility called The Curriculum of Shadows.

All arts are approached from the prospective of the responsibility of a protector for family, dojo (school) and community. We address how fighting is rarely a solution and how the true martial artist is a master of path of of least resistance.

Ages 9-10 Path of the Dragon Older campers focus on more advanced studies in martial arts and stealth and evasion. They focus on the history of ninjistu and even have a chance to make their own foam nunchuks and weapons.

A Smile

We help children to feel like that group of kids wandering country backyards 50 years ago: independent, tired, muddy, wet and happy from the woods and wild. We are acutely aware of full and real hazards of the out of doors after years of working in environmental education. We try to move away from the highly structured and limiting tolerances of conventional environmental education while keeping kids truly safe but not encapsulated from, or phobic of nature. We are deep patriots to the value of offering guided yet very free and transparent experiences for kids. We believe it is okay to be thirsty at times, cold at times, and wet at times. It builds empathy and care for the gifts of life. It fosters adventure and sincere accomplishment. We also believe it is critical to feel supported and cared for as they truly explore their passion and responsibility. And through a healthy life immersed in nature, they test the limits and great potential of the often untapped physical and emotional resiliency they possess.
