Funding for Middle and High School Clubs

The Trailblazers Outdoor Club Program provides funding for middle and high schools to develop a club, focused on outdoor experiential learning and adventurous activities.

Field Trips

Club funding can be used towards field trips with outdoor activities and learning components. Expenses may include travel, food, and entry fees.

Equipment

Use funding to purchase equipment for your club's trips and meetings e.g., backpacks, tents, kayaks, and archery gear.

Expert Instruction

Train club members in outdoor skills by funding guest speakers and experts to educate and instruct at club meetings.

Outdoor Skills Development

Keep club members safe by using funds towards courses and certifications e.g., Wilderness First Aid and Kayak Safety.

"Getting outdoors has always been important but not always accessible...so having that chance through my school was really great."
