Core Components
Each day students participate in sunrise, free play and sunset.

Our sunrise meeting takes place at the start of every program, and serves as an opportunity to frame the day. During Sunrise, each group sits together in a circle, sets/revisits group and personal goals, and reviews the schedule together.

During unstructured play group leaders are engaged with their students but not leading activities. During this time, group leaders encourage exploration, curiosity, and creativity.

Sunset closes the day. Students and group leaders will end their day with songs, games, and a reflection of the day’s challenges and successes.

Inquiry Based Environmental Science (Science Explorers)
Science Explores highlights an Inquiry-based learning approach that emphasizes the student’s role in the learning process. Rather than group leaders telling students what they need to know, students are encouraged to explore the material, ask questions, and share ideas. Some of the Science Explores Club themes include but are not limited to sustainable design, composting, the built environment and nature focused community mapping.

Trail Blazers After School programs include Environmental Adventure, Art and other recreational and play-focused content guided by our group leaders.

All Trail Blazers programs are offered on a tier basis, loosely linked to family income, leveraging demand while creating greater access. Your tier is self-selected during the application process.
