The Adventure Begins

Journey backwards in time with the Trackers Time Lords. Each day is a new era in Portland's history, going from the 80's, 70's, 60', 40's, all the way through the pioneers, to the First People to live in the Willamette Valley and even to the dinosaurs.

Each of our buses are reconfigured and reengineered with a heavy matter core, harnessing the power of STNG physics the flux capacitor creates a static warp field around its yellow steel frame. At times we have to seek out alternative power sources to produce the required 1.21 jigawatts of electricity required to activate the warp field.

Lost in Time

Everyday we find ourselves in a new time with no clear way of returning to the present. We're driven by some unknown force to change history for the better. We have a guide on this journey named Jamey who appears in the form of a hologram only the campers can see. We find ourselves leaping from time period to time period, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time, that our next time-leap will be the leap home.

Unfortunately destiny has other plans, and there's a mystery to ultimately solve. So buckle your safety belts and get ready for the ride of many lifetimes. Our answer lies somewhere at the edge of the universe and across the 8th dimension and the Trackers School Bus Time Machine will stop at nothing to protect the past to save the future.

Please Note Due to good taste and decorum we will be skipping the 1990's.

About Time Lord Instructors Instructors my vary. We also do not necessarily guarantee a Maude or Jamey as your lead yet it will be someone equally as quirky and/or interesting.

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.
