What We Do
Teen Trailblazers meets with a small group of students per program from 7th - 9th grade. We usually work through schools and meet with students for eight classes before embarking on a culminating overnight camping trip. We learn skills like how to build a fire, how to set up a tent, how to find water, navigation in the forest, and more!
Meet Our CEO
Maya Bab has been camping and hiking since she was a little kid in upstate New York.
She loves nature, and wanted to embark on a longer journey in the Great Outdoors as a middle and high schooler, so she went on a NOLS trip and an Outward Bound.
She is deeply grateful to the skills camping and hiking instilled in her -- empathy, working well with others, grit, determination, appreciation for those around her, and how to overcome obstacles, to name a few. She uses those skills daily in her life.
She is currently a high schooler at The Brearley School, but in Middle School she began leading courses on outdoor education. With the support of her teachers and the administration, Maya created an Outdoor Education Club for middle schoolers at Brearley. She created and carried a curriculum and culminated the course in a camping trip.
Based on this engaging program, Maya decided to bring outdoor education to kids and teens living in NYC who wouldn't otherwise get to enjoy the Great Outdoors. Teen Trailblazers was born!
