The Great PBC-HelloFresh Cook Off

Our Summer Partnership with the Princeton-Blairstown Center

Every summer, the Princeton-Blairstown Center (PBC) welcomes students from historically marginalized communities for a week of outdoor adventure, leadership development, and personal growth. Through hiking, swimming, canoeing, and high ropes courses, participants build social-emotional skills that prepare them to lead in their schools and communities.

For the past three years, HelloFresh has joined that journey with The Great PBC-HelloFresh Cook Off, a tradition where teamwork, creativity, and confidence come together in the kitchen. Using HelloFresh meal kits, students collaborate to plan, prepare, and present a dish to PBC’s panel of judges, gaining not just cooking know-how but also pride in what they can accomplish together.

Summer Bridge is a one-week leadership and academic enrichment program that provides equitable access to transformative outdoor experiences for youth and is offered to our program partners completely free of charge. With students and their chaperones staying for a week at a time, staff and participants really get to know each other well and create meaningful shared experiences that spur individual and group growth.
