One of the greatest gifts of this gathering is an abundance of great trackers to lead workshops and the superb Humboldt County tracking habitat available to those leaders. The 60‑acre YMCA Camp Ravencliff—where Kim has filmed about 80% of her videos and tracking training vignettes—is a tracking paradise all on its own, with the Eel River winding right through the property and a mosaic of habitats that offer fresh sign day after day.

Workshops & Clinics are given daily by highly experienced trackers from around the country. Each workshop leader determines who their audience will be. Beginner? Intermediate? Experienced? They also select location and topic. The pricing is set by the workshop leader. Any questions about content or reservations for any workshop should be directed to the workshop leader.  

Events are added daily as the workshop leaders prepare
and create descriptions of their workshops and clinics.
We anticipate 5 events per day for you to choose from
