Welcome
The Santa Clarita Valley YMCA Trailblazers are for parent and child (ages 4th-8th grade). Clubs are based all throughout the valley so there are many groups to join and start the fun!! The program runs from September to July and you can join at any time!
The Fun Start Here!
Trailblazers have the paddled down the Kings River, hiked the canyons of Yosemite, backpacked in Mammoth. This year will be even more exciting! Check out our Calendar for current details.

10/3/07 - It's our first campout of the year so join the Trailblazers for a weekend at Emma Wood State Beach near Ventura.
Dave Duncan
8/8/07 - It is with great sadness that I must share the news of the passing Dave Duncan. Dave died this past Saturday morning in a car accident. Dave was the Alliklik Nation's Medicine man for the past two years and will be dearly missed.
Dave is known for his devotion and generosity to the Y-Guide program. Not only in giving of his time but also...
Trailblazers off to yet another adventure!
5/9/07 - After participating in the 1st Annual “Adventure Challenge” at Snow Camp this February and helping out at the Y-Guide Olympics on March 11th at Central Park, the Trailblazers are now casting their eyes north to the land John Muir once roamed: YOSEMITE!!
Registration is now closed for the May 18-20 Trailblazer adventure to Yosemite! Cost is $75/person, which is a great deal considering we are staying at Curry Village.
Point Dume Hike
4/16/07 - Join the trailblazers for a hike at Point Dume on April 22. Meet at 9:00 AM at the McBean YMCA parking lot. Don't forget to sunscreen, lunch, water bottle, etc.
More info about the hike can be found on the localhikes.com web site.
Camp Whittle Update!!
2/20/07 - It looks like snow for this weekend -- from Ben’s weather, "This Thursday will bring another storm, possibly the season’s strongest thus far with snow levels as low as 3,000 feet. So expect snow increasing on Thursday with gusty winds and much colder temperatures as we plummet back into the 20s to lower 30s. Total snowfall accumulations will likely exceed several inches before moving out on Friday. Clearing, dry & warmer weather as we head into the weekend."
THIS MEANS WE WILL HAVE SNOW FOR SNOW CAMP! IT ALSO MEANS BRING YOUR CHAINS! As you may already be aware, during this time of year (and with specific conditions like this) the CHP REQUIRES CHAINS. We will not be shuttling people up and down the mountain so PLEASE COME PREPARED! Please make sure everyone in your tribe is aware of the road conditions and the forecast.
