Forms
Putting together an outdoor education program takes a good amount of organization, planning, and...paperwork! forms are broken down into several areas: Teacher forms (that the person organizing the program needs to fill out) and Student forms (that students and their parents need to fill out). We also have some great Extras...check them out!

Different Languages
We don't provide forms in different languages (there are just too many...), but we do have a good method for you to use if you need a form in a language other than English. If you follow this method we WILL accept the forms.
- Go to an online translating tool; we use http://translate.google.com/#
- Copy the link for the form you need, paste it into the translating tool, and hit translate. Translated text will appear. (The easiest way to get the link for the form is to right click on the link itself and hit "copy link location"; use this to paste into your translating tool).
- Print out the Original English Form and the Translated Text. Staple both together.
- Have the parent/student fill out and sign the translated form. Important! Be sure when they turn everything in that both forms (English and Translated) are still stapled together.
- Welcome to High Trails Outdoor Science School! Started in 2000, we're a Big Bear based small business that focuses on residential outdoor education for California elementary and middle school students. This single minded approach has let us refine our program into what is now, we believe, the best outdoor education and natural science camp experience for your students.
Last year we had 100+ schools and 8,000 students visit us in the mountains for 3, 4 and 5 weekday programs. If you're looking for a friendly, innovative and fresh approach to the world of outdoor education, come join us at High Trails Outdoor Science School; your very own dirty classroom.
