Trailblazers

Our Trailblazers outdoor adventure program focuses on team building and provides healthy alternatives for youth to drug use. The TRAILBLAZERS ADVENTURE GROUP (TAG) activities are challenging but they are also fun. Through them, you will grow strong, meet new people and travel to new places. The participants will work together to set goals and respect each other’s right to choose their own challenges.

Our mission is to have youth recognize their personal strengths while emphasizing Courage, Truth, Respect, Responsibility and Character. Trailblazers is about strengthening resiliency and increasing resistance to alcohol, tobacco and other drug use. We want to help the youth in the area develop their social, physical and mental maturity and encourage them to make positive choices.
