We look forward to seeing you

The First Tracks Central Division Patroller Conference will head to Traverse City, Michigan, September 11–13, bringing patrollers from across the division together for a weekend of leadership, learning, and connection on the shores of Grand Traverse Bay.

Throughout Saturday, patrollers can choose from a wide range of sessions—including trauma response, stress management, movement analysis, OET round tables, and additional specialty clinics—ensuring valuable opportunities for every discipline and experience level. The weekend will conclude with a celebratory awards ceremony recognizing outstanding patrollers for their contributions and achievements across the division.
