About
Blairstown Campus Programs:Groups of students and their chaperones come from across the Mid-Atlantic region to stay at PBCs 264-acre Blairstown Campus in the northwest corner of New Jersey near the Delaware Water Gap for one to five days. These students come from public schools, independent schools, and community-based organizations. Most of these organizations provide services to students from low-income communities who face numerous challenges such as poverty, low-performing schools, high-crime neighborhoods, food insecurity, single adult households, court-involved youth, or youth in foster care. The Blairstown Campus serves as an extension of their school or community organization a place where they can learn critical 21st Century skills that can be taken back to their schools, families, and communities. These trips are organized by the administration or faculty of the visiting school or organization expressly for the purpose of obtaining instruction in non-cognitive skills using PBCs social and emotional learning (SEL) curriculum. The SEL skills that PBC teaches can include verbal and non-verbal communication, leadership, cooperation, team-building, problem solving, healthy risk-taking, empathy, and interpersonal skills; which skills are focused on depends on the needs of the individual student groups. During their time at PBC, students work in small groups with carefully trained instructors and spend the majority of the day in instructional activities, with time for meals, sleep, and personal reflection/journal writing. Approximately 7,880 students and leaders/chaperones were served at the Blairstown Campus during 2019.Princeton University Groups Program:As an affiliate of Princeton University, PBC supports Princeton undergraduate civic engagement and student retreats in a natural setting.
