Trail Blazers

Trail Blazers is an award-winning non-profit youth development organization that has touched the lives of thousands of young people for over 130 years. Through outdoor experiential programs, accessible to all, Trail Blazers creates a world where all participants have opportunities to go outside and grow within.

Operating after-school programs, three day camps in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and a flagship overnight camp in northwest New Jersey, our programs are all designed to keep social emotional learning at the forefront. Since 1887, Trail Blazers has sponsored thousands of children to take part in these outdoor adventures where learning happens experientially — by living and playing together, and experiencing the challenges and opportunities the natural environment offers.
