The Raccoon Circles: powerful tools
This website is sponsored by Ernesto Yturralde, consultant, researcher, experiential learning trainer. This is a tribute to Thomas E Smith the creator of the Raccoon Circles, who provided much of the historical, philosophical, ritual and ceremonial information in his book. Tom is a lifelong contributor to the adventure education field and the experiential learning. He is a frequent presenter at USA regional, USA national, and international conferences on experiential education, special education, therapeutic recreation and corporate training. His orientation has always been toward growth and learning, and he has long explored the potentials of outdoor therapy and challenge and adventure education. In 1997, Dr. Thomas E Smith was honored by the AEE | Association for Experiential Education's Kurt Hahn Award, recognizing him as an important and life long leader in the field. Jim Cain is the author of the award winning adventure-based text Teamwork & Teamplay, and has researched, created, documented and contributed many of the Raccoon Circles activities and writings in The Raccoon Circles book.

"Tom Smith has been fooling around with tied loops of webbing for years, and getting some good experiential mileage from their applications to various games and initiative scenarios. Those of you who know Tom are familiar with his nickname, the Old Raccoon, given him by some Native American friends many decades ago. As Karl watched Tom facilitate a workshop some years ago, he commented that the webbing circles Tom was using looked like Raccoon Circles. And the name stuck. This newest edition of the book is the definitive resource for one of the simplest tools ever devised for creating community, building a unified team and actively learning together. Jim and Tom have teamed up to record the history, philosophy, ceremony and dozens of activities that can be facilitated using just a simple piece of webbing." Adapted from the first edition's foreword by Karl Rohnke
