Princeton-Blairstown Center

Here are some videos of Princeton-Blairstown Center that you might enjoy.

12 minute video created and directed by Princeton graduate student and PBC Trustee Elina Sarkisova *12. Elina  spent two full days filming twenty members of the graduating class from East Harlem’s Heritage Academy hanging off ropes, belaying down our 30 foot dam, and doing what all teenagers love to hate – talking about their feelings. It was beautiful.

Nearly 45 future leaders from countries across the African continent were reunited at a five-day retreat and conference in August held in part on the Princeton University campus. They are all alumni of the African Leadership Academy (ALA), a two-year boarding high school in Johannesburg, South Africa, which chose Princeton for its inaugural "indaba."

An indaba, which means "gathering" in Zulu, is often called by Southern African tribal leaders when there is important news to share.

A video documenting the indaba shows the participants' reactions to the outdoor experiential education activities and workshops at Princeton-Blairstown Center, a camp in northwestern New Jersey that is affiliated with the University. The video also covers the last day and a half, which featured a professional conference and receptions on the University's main campus
