Our Approach

One hundred forty plus years is a long time to perfect the art of youth development. Formal metrics confirm what anecdotal reports have always shown us: building strong social and emotional foundations sets children up for true long-term success.

Every Trail Blazers program is designed with the same five building blocks – research-backed strategies, seamlessly woven into each day’s plan:

GOAL SETTING: deciding upon daily, aspirational group and individual goals and planning paths towards them during the Sunrise Circle
TEAM BUILDING and CHALLENGE: working together to solve problems and encouraging each other to persist when things get tough
FREE PLAY and EXPLORATION: letting wonder and imagination guide the program experience
SCIENCE and SKILL BUILDING: honing in on specific interests and developing a methodical approach to learning
REFLECTION: reflecting on one’s performance, focusing on the day’s highs and lows, and getting excited about what tomorrow will bring during the Sunset Circle

This approach – which looks different every day, within every program, and for every group – delivers a uniquely powerful youth development experience.
