Whats the backstory of High Trails?
I came out to California in 1998 to run a small outdoor science school owned by a huge, not really kid based, foreign corporation. Soon it was obvious that the only way to make the program into what we envisioned it was to go out on my own. So I did. Almost all of our schools followed us up out of the city and into the mountains as we officially opened High Trails in the Fall of 2000. Our first year was incredibly tough, but we were incredibly lucky and graced with a dynamite staff who were willing to give their all to a new program, making our first year a huge success. Our second year we grew over 50% and opened a second site in the spring. Once again we had a wonderful staff that made it all happen, and we now find ourselves heading into our umpteenth year, with two sites open for the full school year.
