YBCC is Back in Action!

After a difficult year for many kids, the TRTA is excited to bring back its Youth Backcountry Camps (YBCC) and build the next generation of trail stewards. Each fourday backpacking expedition fosters a greater connection to the natural world by educating participants on the natural history, Leave No Trace ethics, and environmental stewardship. This outdoor curriculum empowers youth to assume leadership roles, learn wilderness skills, and gain confidence while exploring the great outdoors. We are thrilled to provide this opportunity to more than 100 regional youth again this summer. Learn more at
