Trail Blazers Annual Report 2022 by Riel Peerbooms

A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 2 2

From the Board of Trustees - Hugh Babowal

When I joined the Board of Trustees in 2011, Trail Blazers had a budget of $800,000 that supported over 325 children and teens at our flagship program, the Overnight Camp at Mashipacong Estate. During the 10 years I have served at Trail Blazers, I have continued to be impressed with our growth and ability to meet young people’s arising needs, while remaining true to our mission of helping young people to build skills and values for life through nature.

I have also been impressed by the organization’s ability to leverage partnerships to maximize impact. Today, Trail Blazers is engaging over 1,800 children and teens across a portfolio of nature-based programs. This would not have been possible without the funders, program partners, families, individual donors and volunteers (including alumni), staff, and more, who work to make programs possible. With my sincerest gratitude, I thank each of you for your partnership.

As I look back at all we have accomplished over the past decade - more young people experiencing meaningful and lasting impact, an expanded Trail Blazers community, having survived through the height of the pandemic, and the establishment of a team of board leadership and staff who are ready for the next decade - I am filled with awe and pride. I am also filled with confidence, as I prepare to step down from the Co-Chair position and welcome new leadership to guide and steward the organization. I look forward to their energy and dedication as they support and lead Trail Blazers through the next several years. If the past decade is any indication of what lies ahead, then the future at Trail Blazers is truly bright and I cannot wait to see what we will accomplish together.

Hugh Babowal Co-Chair of the Board

From the Board of Trustees - Janell Wise

When I joined the Trail Blazers Board in 2020, just a few weeks before the start of the pandemic, I could not have imagined stepping into the Co-Chair position less than a year later! What pulled me to Trail Blazers was the mission, which spoke to me. My outdoor experiences growing up are some of my most cherished memories and I my belief that these are the kinds of memories all children should be able to create drives me to make an impact at Trail Blazers.

As a Board Member, and now a Co-Chair, it has been a learning curve to ascertain exactly what it takes to move Trail Blazers closer to our stated Strategic Goal, to be a "Best in Class" organization, while simultaneously navigating an unprecedented pandemic. One thing I observed, after getting to know the people behind this goal - a group of kind, passionate, and dedicated professionals who give more than their fair share every day, whether as a Group Leader, Program Director, Administrator, or Board Member - is that Trail Blazers is nothing without its people.

The Board, for our part, has ambitious goals for the next few years. After all, a "Best in Class" organization requires a Best in Class Board. Whether we are providing active counsel, guidance, and oversight to our management team; making a big push to provide the necessary resources, financial and otherwise, for Trail Blazers to thrive; or growing the tent of supporters; we look forward to being a force of positive change for Trail Blazers! It is my honor to help lead this charge.

Janell Wise Co-Chair of the Board

From the Executive Director

One of the things I enjoy most at Trail Blazers is the occasional outreach we get from our alumni, reminding us about the impact of the Trail Blazers experience. Recently, we received an essay from an alum, recounting how Trail Blazers left a lasting mark that guided him through life: “Between extensive pre-camp training and then living in the woods with the oldest group of boys, I learned skills that proved useful for the rest of my life. More importantly, camp turned me on to the importance of helping young people. As the years and decades went on, I taught junior high, high school, and college. I always focused on the lost, struggling kids. Trail Blazers imbued me with that attitude."

As we emerge from the height of the pandemic, we couldn't have received a better reminder of how the right experience, the right person, at the right time, can create life-long impact. It can inspire a life of service like the alum above, spark an interest in becoming an educator, launch a passion for nature and the outdoors, and build connections that create life-long friendships. Our work today is focused on just that, not only for the thousands of campers enjoying our programs every year, but more than ever also for our young staff, who are impacted and shaped by the work in their own unique ways. Our hope for each of our campers and each of our staff members is that they leave Trail Blazers changed in a way that carries on through life. This is what Building Values for Life truly means to us.

Delivering this promise has never been more challenging, when we face a world that often expects us to do more, without providing the resources or support our families need to access the kinds of existing experiences out of reach for too many. But the post-pandemic world, more than ever, requires our young people to develop a diverse set of skills, which is only acquired by having access to diverse opportunities. Trail Blazers is here to make these opportunities available, affordable, and high quality.

We hope this season inspires you to support our work, so one more camper gets to have an opportunity they otherwise wouldn't, and one more young staffer can continue their journey to adulthood. Thank you, and best wishes for a joyous New Year!

year-round?

Trail Blazers has been instrumental in building my daughter's social skills as well as her love for science and nature. -2022 Parent

After School

440 campers; 10 elementary schools

Just like at Summer Camp, each After School day begins and ends with us together in a circle. Though we can’t light campfires, we can still gather around to sing songs and connect to ourselves and each other.

Also, just like at Summer Camp, we make sure to get outside as much as possible. We love exploring our local parks and learning about nature throughout our Brooklyn neighborhoods. Did you know that insects are essential for our local ecosystem?

At our screen-free, hands-on program, art is a vehicle for learning about our world while exploring our creativity. Leaf prints are opportunities to play with color while learning about symmetry in nature. Stay tuned to see what we will explore in the Spring Semester!

My daughter loved her counselors and felt special being there. She enjoyed learning about the lantern flies and how harmful they are to trees! She held a snake and taught me her favorite camp songs. -2022 Parent

Summer Day Camp

900 campers; 3 New York City Parks

From homebases in Prospect Park, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and Morningside Park, Day Campers spent the summer learning all about New York's unique ecosystems while making memories with new friends. We composted with the Lower East Side Ecology Center, developed boating skills on Brooklyn’s waterfront with Brooklyn Boatworks, explored sustainability at the New York Harbor, got up close and personal with Brooklyn’s marine life with the experts at Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Education Team, and learned to identify local plants with City Growers. This year, for the first time since the pandemic started, we were able to resume day trips to Mashipacong Estate! We had a wonderful time working on boating and swimming skills on Lake Mashipacong, building campfires to make s ’ mores, and getting a small taste of Overnight Camp.

Just today we were at an appointment and my son wanted to know the guest wifi password. I told him to ask the receptionist and he hesitated, but then he actually did. When he came back, he was so proud of himself. Normally, this would be such an anxiety provoking thing for him to do. I am convinced that this had something to do with his time at camp. Whenever there is something that he doesn't think he can do or other little challenge, I remind him of the hike and the vagabond. I let him know that if he could to that, then he could do anything. -2022 Parent

Summer Overnight Camp

300 campers; Mashipacong Estate

This summer was a historical one at Trail Blazers. When we welcomed Dahlia Midyette as our new Overnight Camp Director, it was the first time we had an alum at the helm!

She was supported by a leadership team of former campers and returning staff, who ensured we kept our unique camp magic alive. Seeing so many who grew up at camp rise to leadership has been galvanizing for the rest of the team and for campers, as we work to cultivate more pipelines for young people to work and rise to leadership.

It was also a summer filled with memorable experiences.

Once again, we partnered with Stony Creek Farmstead in Walton, NY, for our farm-to-fork Farmstead Camp. Leadersin-Training campers bonded and prepared to become The APEX. We spent time in the woodshop, learning to measure twice and cut once. Finally, we collectively covered hundreds of miles on our vagabond backpacking trips, and ate countless marshmallows around the campfire.

I learned that I can do more than I thought I can do. -Isiah, 2022 Middle School Camper

Middle School Camp

20 campers; Mashipacong Estate and Brooklyn

This summer we participated in a pilot program organized by the National Summer Learning Association, the American Camp Association, and the New York Life Foundation to support social-emotional development in middle school students and prepare them to thrive during the school year.

Trail Blazers is proud to be one of 10 camps across the country who participated in this Middle School Summer Camp pilot. In addition to the usual outdoor fun and social bonding, this one-week session included the exploration of themes specific to this age-group ’ s unique needs.

We worked with three Brooklyn schools, two of which are also After School sites, which means that we are able to support several of our students year-round, including weekend trips to Mashipacong Estate for canoe vagabonds and other camp adventures.

We are both so happy to be able to be a part of this program and be able to learn from campers and counselors and directors as we try, hopefully, to be counselors ourselves. Maybe even directors, you never know. And we ' re very thankful for everyone who was able to give this give us this experience, knowledge, and pass on the fruit that was given to them. -Alex and Sierra, 2022 APEX Campers

The APEX

8 campers; Mashipacong Estate

Last year we mentioned that Trail Blazers is one of 22 camps across the nation, participating in the American Camp Association's Leadership Pathways Project. The initiative is funding The APEX, helping us work towards creating a diverse pipeline of young people with the knowledge, skills, and support needed to take on leadership roles in outdoor spaces.

This summer marked Year 2, where eight teens spent six weeks working on leadership and professional skills. Three teens had a school schedule that allowed them to stay an additional two weeks and work at supporting staff, earning a stipend while further developing their skills on-the-ground!

Throughout the year, The APEX keeps in touch at social outings and workshops. Ten campers are preparing to return this summer as Junior Staff (The APEX 2) and ten LITs (Leaders-in-Training) are preparing to start The APEX 1.

I love Trail Blazers for helping me plan for life beyond work. -Isabella, Academy participant

The Academy

40 participants; Brooklyn

The Academy is part of our approach to equipping young people with the knowledge, professional skills, socialemotional skills, and network needed to thrive in the workplace, while also actively cultivating skilled staff.

This spring, high school students in the Ignite Cohort spent several weeks developing professional skills and knowledge: from completing a W-4 to building a toolkit of Trail Blazers activities to engage children. They transitioned to summer, working as Day Camp Junior Staff and continuing to develop skills with additional coaching and mental health support.

Currently, early-stage after school professionals in the Accelerate Cohort are wrapping up reflection, skill building, career mapping, and learning from established professionals about their own career journeys. After a strong pilot year, we ’ re excited for more Academy programming and more students - stay tuned!

Alumni Engagement Committee

Alumni (campers & staff); worldwide

Once a Trail Blazer, always a Trail Blazer! The lasting connections built at Trail Blazers/Life Camps are a testament to our unique program experience. The Alumni Engagement Committee (AEC) works to maintain these connections, support current campers, and preserve our history.

This year the AEC expanded upon last year ' s Bird Guide project with a Tree Guide and Key for campers and staff to learn about Mashipacong Estate's trees. Thanks to all who traveled (in some cases, across the country), hiked many miles, and spent countless hours developing this resource!

The AEC also worked with several alumni on a very special project: a plaque commemorating our move to Mashipacong Estate. The plaque was dedicated to Kay Smorto, one of our oldest living alumni, and presented to her at a small surprise gathering at our office. Naturally, camp songs were sung! The plaque will be installed at Mashipacong Estate and we can't wait for you to see it in person.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

Our DEIB mission

We create diverse, equitable and inclusive spaces with unencumbered access, where all youth, families and team members are valued, included and empowered.

This is central to our commitment to delivering accessible outdoor education and programming to young people and to the communities in which we work and serve. We act with intent to challenge and dismantle the global historic systems of oppression impacting all of society, our workforce, and the Trail Blazers community. By understanding the structures of power and privilege, we work passionately and empathetically to address all forms of discrimination - age, income, ability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, national origin, religion and sexual orientation – across every aspect of our business and among everyone we serve.

Our DEIB Committee's Charter

To define the DEIB lens(es) and provide insight into how power structures currently operate within the organization and the wider Trail Blazers community.

To develop a DEIB strategy for success activities, timelines, deliverables, goals, benchmarks, KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), and success measures. To guide the organization and hold leaders accountable for integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion into every aspect of the work and culture.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

2022 focus areas

Through several rounds of fireside chats and conversations with stakeholders throughout the Trail Blazers community, as well as internal assessments throughout 2020 and 2021, the DEIB Committee identified three initial areas of focus:

Training: to ensure staff and board have participated in DEIB-related training

Accountability: to implement DEIB-related metrics, such as staff and/or board representation or evaluations of specific projects

Inclusion: to integrate and center the voice and perspective of staff and board members from communities facing disparities

The committee meets a several times a month to assess progress, support implementation, and guide future planning based on key learnings.

What we have done so far

DEIB-related questions in all surveys, to better understand our constituents' experiences and needs Implementation of a hiring rubric to standardize the process and remove biases Launch of staff affinity groups The development of a compensation policy and framework DEIB training for full-time staff and support with integrating DEIB in program elements Board DEIB training in development

2023 preliminary focus areas

Ensuring DEIB Leadership is not top-down, but is experienced throughout the organization Improved communication of DEIB goals and work

We will continue sharing our progress on our website: visit trailblazers.org/deib throughout the year.

As our organizations faced a changing landscape of financial and operational needs, Youth INC and Trail Blazers responded with innovative approaches,” said Peerbooms. “At times, our evolutions happened simultaneously. Often, they happened in close collaboration with each other. As Youth INC congratulates Trail Blazers, we salute and congratulate Youth INC. We truly are proud to be partners in impact. -Riel Peerbooms, Executive Director, award speech
