Get Involved
We know schedules can be full, so we've designed Trailblazers to be flexible and easy to fit into your routine.  Trailblazers meet every Tuesday from October 6 - December 15, 2026.  The program begins immediately after school and runs until 5:30pm.  Parents can begin picking up their children at 5pm.

Ready to Participate
We believe no child should miss an opprtunity to particpate in Trailblazers due to financial circumstances.  Due to the generousity from the Schmeedkle Foundation, cost for this program has been reduced to $50 per participant ($210 regularly).  Financial assistance is also available.
