As a city dweller, I take pride that my son still has an opportunity to catch frogs, go fishing & be outdoors. By far one of the best camps he's attended. -Forest, Fishing, Fly and Reel Parent

Top 5 reasons to join Trackers Kids summer camps...

1) Convenient drop-off location in the Berkeley Aquatic Park Within minutes of many neighborhoods.

2) We do more and have real adventures! We do more in one day than most camps do in a summer. Campers get outside PLUS train archery, learn traditional skills, travel through time and much more.

3) Smaller group sizes We have an average of 25% smaller group sizes than standard outdoor camps.

4) Awesome Extended Camp You can also pre-register for our affordable Pre-Camp from 8am-8:30am & After-Camp from 3:30pm-4:30pm. Regular drop-off is from 8am-8:30am & pick-up is from 3pm-3:30pm.

What Parents Say...

"This has been the best camp! And, we've gone to a few! I have been telling everyone about it. I don't think you could have developed a more perfect camp experience for my son. Seriously… Honestly, I cannot think of enough words to describe how great this week was for Ethan. He was engaged, enthusiastic and exhausted at the end of the day. The storyline that his group developed was amazing and kept him thinking and connecting every night. I love the enthusiasm of Stewart. The patience and guidance he has with kids is inspiring. He has the ability to command a group of excitable kids safely and in a way that gets them thinking, creating and using their imaginations-- which is an under utilized skill (in my opinion). I loved how he made the whole camp adaptable to what the kids were interested in, and had the flexibility to flow with it. Fantastic job you guys!!!" -Forest Ninja Parent, Age 6
