School-Year Outdoor Education Adventures in Mountains of California

High Trails Outdoor Science School

Started in 2000, High Trails is a Big Bear-based small business that focuses on residential outdoor education for California elementary and middle schools and their students. Our teach are passionate for the outdoors and education with significant professional development throughout the school year. This is where to come to learn to be a teacher!

We are based in Big Bear, the coolest mountain town in Southern California; no other outdoor ed center is based here. From mountains to deserts to beaches, with a little small town atmosphere close by and a lot of big city amenities within a couple of hours...pretty nice!
