About this organization
Mission
Since our inception in 1887 as Life's Fresh Fair Fund, Trail Blazers has continued to fulfill our mission of facilitating the development of values and life skills essential for productive citizenship in youth through a portfolio of summer and year-round programs rooted in outdoor experiential education, social-emotional learning, and leadership development.
About
Expansion of day camp program, after school program and overnight program - each program has grown rapidly since 2016 ensuring each day is filled with outdoor adventures with a schedule determined by the interests of the group. Outdoor experimental adventures - each summer, children from the tri-state area come to Trailblazers to experience a unique adventure in which they engage in a variety of adventure-based activities that promote respect for the environment and natural resources, self-confidence, empathy, peaceful conflict resolution, communication, and love of learning. Environmental education - Trailblazer's programs emphasize a personal connection with the natural environment. Program participants leave with an understanding that the natural environment is everywhere we live, work, and learn, rather than something we get away to. In partnership with the. Nature Conservancy of New Jersey, we offer custom programs in the form of day and overnight trips throughout the year.
