Village Nights are open to all educators interested in sharing Trackers Elements (skills) through teaching. It can include past, present, and future Trackers staff, outdoor educators from other organizations, elders, and subject matter experts. We focus on how to apply Outdoor Elements when mentoring youth and adults.
