Urban Trailblazers (UTB) is a youth leadership program designed for middle school-age youth. We welcome 44 young people from culturally and economically diverse backgrounds to experience their local, state, and national parks over the course of six weeks in the summer. This includes overnight camping at Rob Hill and our National Park.
