Teen Survival Quest
Join us for an edge pushing adventure!
Designed for teens that have experience with wilderness skills and want to take their skills to another level. We will be making hidden camps and playing Scout awareness games.

Every human has four elemental needs: shelter, water, fire and food. Our ancestors were deeply connected to these needs. They knew how to find and create them, and how to pass on the essential skills to the next generation. Without this lineage we would not be here today. Our modern world seems to have forgotten much of this. Wilderness Passages is a week-long journey that reconnects youth with these skills, creating confidence, self sufficiency, and transformation. 

We light the ceremonial fire for each passage and provide parental guidance for supporting this transformation before and after the passage.

Bring your family for a fun-filled wilderness skills week in the Pine Barrens!
Welcome to our Tracker Family Camp. In 2018 Tom Brown Jr. decided to run the first ever Tracker Family Camp. We are excited that we can have families and little ones in the Pine Barrens Primitive Camp learning directly from the places where Tom learned from Stalking Wolf. 

We will practice basic survival skills including shelter building, lost-proofing, fire-making, rock tools, cordage and camouflage. We plan to offer more adventures tracking in the Pines as well as more “edge” experiences for returning parents and youth to push their skills. Tom and Rick Berry will be leading this camp with adventures and skills for both youth and Parents.

  4E / Coyote Tracks is hosting another very special, limited enrollment Family Weekend at the Pine Barrens Primitive Camp.
For those ready to face the colder temperatures and have an epic outdoor adventure with family and friends!

I am excited to take folks on wanders to some of the special places I found and that hold stories of when Tom and Rick were there with Stalking Wolf.
Now more than ever, our youth need to get outside! This weekend will inspire you and your family to get outdoors throughout the colder seasons to come. Late fall into winter is an amazing time to be in nature, as the skills of fire making and shelter building really come to life. We look forward to recalling the Old Ways, sitting around the campfire with friends and family, sharing stories, gratitude, and laughter!

We cannot wait to see you again!
