A program badge for the Trailblazers program

Combining activities specifically designed for older campers with traditional Kitaki favorites, Trailblazers Camp is the best of all worlds for the 13-15 year old. Clubs are replaced with adventures at our challenge course, climbing tower, high ropes, and more. This one-week experience builds self-confidence and character, teaches independence and interdependence, develops leadership skills, and presents new and stimulating challenges.

Goals

Each of our programs are designed with specific goals and outcomes in mind. These goals are used to determine which activities should be part of the experience. As a part of Trailblazers Camp:

Trailblazers campers will…
1) learn to identify their strengths and communicate those strengths to others. 
2) set goals and challenge themselves in a safe, supportive environment. 
3) experience an increase in self-confidence as a result of the achievements and connections made during the week at camp. 
4) learn to be more self-reliant.

Schedule

The schedule for Trailblazers Campers is designed to maximize individual growth, confidence-building, and reflection. Trailblazers will spend each morning on our challenge course learning and experiencing success, encouraged by their cabinmates. Afternoons are spent doing traditional summer camp activities, but each activity is modified to present new challenges in an age-appropriate way. 

Check in will be midafternoon on the first day of the program, and check out will be mid-morning on the last day. More details on check in will be emailed with the Parent Guide towards the beginning of May.

Lodging

Trailblazers stay in our unique Yurt Village cabins.  We will be adding air conditioning to these cabins for summer 2023!
