Draft:The Princeton - Blairstown Center

The Princeton-Blairstown Center (PBC) is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1908 by a group of undergraduates at Princeton University. Started as a summer camp for under-privileged youth, PBC has evolved into a full-year experiential/outdoor education facility. Situated in Hardwick Township, New Jersey near the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, the center occupies 263 acres. PBC has 11 cabins, two wash houses, a lake, wooded trails and several high and low ropes elements. PBC works with many public, charter and independent schools in the NY/NJ and Pennsylvania area as well as community service organizations and other non-profits that provide academic enrichment programs for under-served youth. Since 2006 PBC has conducted its experiential education program in partner schools in Trenton and New York City, providing social and emotional learning curriculum to students in their classrooms.
