High Trails Outdoor Science School: Outdoor Education in the Dirty Classroom

ENROLLMENT FORM

Open Enrollment for the 2011/12 school year ran from April 1st through April 29th. During this period we encourage schools to give us their top 5 choices; this year we were able to give 95% of our schools one of their top 3 choices.

If you're signing up after Open Enrollment is over, please fill out the below form and we'll get back to you right away with available dates and prices. Thanks!

Details

Please choose 5 (five) weeks from the below list. If you are more flexible, please choose more. If you do not choose at least 5 weeks, you make scheduling very, very difficult for us.
It is possible, especially if you choose dates in a popular time frame (March, April and May), that none of the dates you request will be available. If this happens, we will contact you with other options.
We structure our prices based on the time of year and traditional demand. This lets us have a full schedule and run program for the entire school year, which in turn allows us to hire quality staff.
Is this your first year attending High Trails? Unless we have a relationship with you or your school district, we may request a deposit before scheduling your school.
Every year we have schools that sign up for dates and then realize, once we have them scheduled, that the dates won't work. To prevent this, please talk with all of your teachers and check your school calendar for Holidays, Test Dates, and other conflicts before submitting this form.
We appreciate the schools that have been coming to camp with us year after year and take this factor into consideration as we schedule.
We run program at multiple sites; feel free to let us know at the bottom of the page if you prefer a site. If we can, we will schedule you there. If you must have a particular site or date, please select it under Special Requests. Please note: we reserve the right to schedule you at any of our sites, and your scheduled site may possibly change before your visit.
