FOREST Flagship Admissions Application 2024-25
Thank you for your interest in joining the 2024-25 FOREST Flagship Program! 

The FOREST program is a unique and impactful opportunity for middle and high school students to connect and be part of a close-knit community while learning new skills and developing a sense of themselves in the outdoors.

Eligibility: students must be 13 years old by 10/01/24 and have completed one season of FOREST Understory, FOREST Flagship, Big Bear Olders or Camp Artemis, Camp Terance, Young Mentors, or 2024 epic Quest camp to be eligible for the 2024-2025 FOREST program. 

FOREST Flagship is a big commitment. If you choose to enroll, you will be committing to spend 9 months of your year with us. You will attend weekly meetings on either Tuesday or Thursday, go on monthly full-day outings (plus a few overnight trips), and engage in outdoor activities on your own time. As this program requires responsibility and commitment and we want you to be successful, we have this application to help us determine who might be the best fit by considering a variety of factors:
  • Your perceived commitment to following through with the program
  • What you may gain from this experience and how it will impact other areas of your life
  • Your attitude
  • If you've had any previous FOREST experience
  • Any unique contributions you are likely to bring to the program.
If you are interested in FOREST, but your schedule doesn't allow for the time commitment of Flagship, consider our FOREST Understory program!  

Note that FOREST Program activities may involve: traveling over uneven terrain, working with fire, using tools such as axes, saws and knives, and sleeping away from home in a variety of environments that may include mock "survival" outings. Program activities will also operate outdoors in all kinds of weather throughout the year. We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations for students to participate in these activities, and it is up to you to decide when or if you will disclose a disability or accommodation need.

Any personal information (gender identity, special accommodations, etc.) collected on this registration form is confidential and will only be used by FOREST instructors to provide the best possible support to you as a participant. This information will NOT be used to deny participation and will NOT be shared with third parties.

The application deadline is August 25th. Selected students will be notified by September 1st.
