Never have I so wished I lived in Oregon. Dark Horse has teamed up with Trackers Earth - an outdoor lore and education organization in Portland - to create a BPRD Training Camp. Unfortunately, it's only for ages 9-17, but if you have kids to send, maybe they'll bring you back pictures.

Find out if you have what it takes to join an elite team of paranormal investigators combating the forces of darkness from all across the globe. We immerse you in tactical training of all forms, including survival skills in any environment (both earthly and non), martial arts and self-defense specific to praeternatural entities, hand to hand weaponry (we train foam swords, bows and more) and forensic investigation. All these are key skills that every agent must have, plus you are steeped in the history of our Bureau and legacy of paranormal research.

Recruits get actual field time during the entire camp. Learning is hands-on with essential survival skills such as shelter building, stealth and tactical and martial arts training.

There are three different age categories and the camp's organizers have even created a fictionalized legend based on local history so that recruits can search for a lost cemetery and solve a 150-year-old mystery involving Bigfoot.
