Highland Games Camp Portland, Oregon

Highland Week July 16-20, 2012 All camps this week have a theme of Scottish and Celtic lore.
Test yourself in the exuberant fun of the Trackers Highland Games! Celebrate Celtic and Scottish culture in this week long camp of games, challenges and role-playing.
Journey Back in Time!
First we outfit ourselves for the rugged terrain of the Highlands by making our own kilt, the essential gear of a Trackers Highland Ranger. We learn about the marking of ancient clans while crafting our own crests from the fantastical land of Cascadia.
We also train for our freedom with many heroes and legends of Scottish lore. From William Wallace to Rob Roy, you learn with foam swords, including our safe version of the Scottish longsword, the claymore. You also evade "Her Majesties" armies on the highland plains of Mt. Hood near Camp Trackers.
The Games
The games are not only for fun, they are opportunities to inspire and test ourselves in awesome events such as the Kid's Caber Toss and the "Kind of Heavy" Stone Put. All this plus a game of "Highland" disc golf (Portland style).
After all the hard work of the games, we celebrate with a bagpipe and fiddle party. A few brave may consider trying haggis (you really don't want to know what it is). We also perform traditional Scottish and Celtic dances.
Payment Plans
For families who need it, we can offer flexible payment plans. Contact Molly to learn more. A non-refundable deposit is always required to reserve your space.
