Connect, Play & Practice! Skills grow stronger when we practice in community.Trackers Skills Night is a free weekly gathering every Thursday at our SE Portland headquarters, where our community comes together to learn and share outdoor skills. Each evening features hands-on practice and skill-sharing that may include fire-by-friction, archery, woodcarving, knots, orienteering, and more. Connect with Trackers Guides, meet other families, and experience the culture of connection, mentorship, and shared learning that defines Trackers.
Choose Your Trackers Guild
Skills Night is a community event sharing skills across our Four Guilds. Each week features a different focus:
🏹 Rangers Guild - Practice wilderness survival, forest craft, archery, stealth, stone and bone tools, firecraft, and other wilderness skills.
🐙 Mariners Guild - Hone skills of traversing, wayfinding, compass work, knots, casting, rigging a line, and seashore know-how.
🐑 Wilders Guild - Build skills of homesteading, woodcarving, sharpening, wild plants, botany, sewing, fiber arts, and more.
🔥 Artisans Guild - Connect with crafts like blacksmithing, ceramics, weaving, and storytelling that builds a learning community.
Community Connections
Trackers Skills Night is layered by design. It is welcoming for beginners and deep enough for serious students. Evenings often include live music and families frequently bringing seasonal or wild foods to share potluck-style. Alongside skill practice, these additional pathways are waiting to be discovered for those who are ready.
🧝♀️ Goblin Market - Every fourth week, the Scout Pit becomes a Goblin Market. Kids and adults trade small handmade trinkets and found baubles. No money, no food, just fun for this imaginative barter market. Learn more about the Goblin Market →.
🐾 The Trackers Trail - Skills Night can be the starting point of the Trackers Trail—our progression of bandanas and badges that mark skill growth and development while introducing young Trackers to the path and invite those ready to go deeper into certifications.
🌳 What This Can Grow Into - Let's create a third space where Trackers Teams of 4–8 friends self-organize and meet regularly to practice skills. Organized by parents and supported by our advanced teen students, teams can train outdoors in field trips to Camp Roslyn.
⭐️ Good to Know
Youth Participants - Guardians must fully supervise children under 16. Teens 16+ may attend without a guardian only with explicit consent and acknowledgement Trackers is not providing direct, continuous supervision.
