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 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.
