Portland, Oregon Tween & Teen Summer Camps
Top 5 reasons to join TrackersTEENS camps...
1) Convenient location for drop-off in Sellwood, Oregon Within minutes of most Portland neighborhoods, right next door to the 140 acre Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge!
2) We do what's real! Compare the goals of our camp weeks with any other program out there. Tweens and teens are looking for experiences that respect who they are. We teach real skills. From boat building to archery, from wild plants to wilderness survival, we do more in one day than most people do in a lifetime.
3) Smaller group sizes We have an average of 15% smaller group sizes than industry standards. Its more safe and we are able to foster the camp into a real team.
4) A teen's competency is respected We believe teenagers are capable of so much more than our modern culture asks of them. We raise the bar of accomplishment.
5) Team leadership We use collaborative skills that help teens be effective leaders in their communities.
Plus, check out! Teen Outdoor Leadership Club
