Wilderness Immersion

The TrackersTEAMS Wilderness Immersion program remakes a world that needs to exists. Come join a village that weaves together ancient ways and nature awareness. For 1-year to 3-months train wilderness survival, folk craft, kayak building, permaculture and homesteading. We provide some of the best instructors in their field along with an urban wilderness community that truly brings the skills to life.

Seasonal Rounds

Split into terms, we live and breathe by 4-seasons. Understanding how the seasons shape our lives is the first step to real connection with nature. This program is not abstract, you don't simply jump through the hoops of our curriculum. Instead it's earthy and calloused hands as we harvest and care for the land through Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. Everything is real and always unexpected. Core tracking and naturalist skills are woven through the entire year while each seasonal term has a specific focus and bounty of food and familiar friends.

Schedule of Seasonal Terms...

Fall Term Wilderness survival and harvest of local wild foods
Winter Term Traditional folk craft and boat building
Spring Term Wild edible and medicinal plants and permaculture design
Summer Expeditions 10 weeks rites of passage expeditions

Check out the Skills we Teach

Core Studies

The heart of our program is the arts of the ancient tracker. Every seasonal term is threaded with this developing awareness and how we build a community connected to the natural world. Also included in our course are studies in business planning and physical conditioning, training both mind and body for a healthy livelihood.

A Village of Learning

Similar to a martial arts school, we benefit from having beginning, intermediate and advanced students working together. You learn the best when you also teach the skill. Oral tradition was an essential part of hunter-gatherer culture. We use this same innate legacy to help people learn more quickly. Apply Now
