PFS Spring Fling

DONATE NOW TO THE PRINCETON BLAIRSTOWN CENTER

For more than 110 years, the Princeton-Blairstown Center has provided adventure-based, experiential education to vulnerable youth. One of PBC's key values is SUSTAINABILITY, rooted in the belief that connecting deeply with others and the natural environment promotes a deeper sense of responsibility to oneself, one's community, and the spaces all of us occupy.

Toward this end, the Center offers Environmental Education Programs, in which students have an opportunity to explore 264 pristine acres that include a range of distinctive ecosystems and natural elements. This outdoor laboratory makes the Center's S.T.E.A.M. programs unique among social-emotional learning providers, with hands-on opportunities to learn more about local ecology through the multitude of outdoor venues on Campus.
