Sample Work Schedule

School groups attend High Trails for 3, 4, or 5-day visits, and this affects the specific schedule that Staff members follow.  However, here is a general example of a workday at High Trails.

7:00-8:30 - Morning hike with cabin group

8:30-9:30 - Breakfast

9:30-12:00 - Morning Discovery Group

12:30-1:30 - Lunch

2:00-4:30 - Afternoon Discovery Group

4:30-5:30 - Recreation Time

6:00-7:00 - Dinner

7:15-8:30 - Evening Activity

8:30-9:15 - Cabin Time; get ready for bed

Short blocks of time around meals are spent preparing for subsequent activities and resting.  In addition, many schools participate in an all-day Discovery Group, where Staff members teach and lead one class beginning after breakfast, with lunch on the trail, and returning to campus in the mid-afternoon.
