For 45 years Outward Bound has offered Group Programs built on
the belief that an individual, a team and an organization are capable
of transcending virtually any of the challenges that stand between
them and the fulfillment of their highest aspirations. Our programs
are experiential, exciting, and engage the whole person in order
to cultivate the qualities and skills that help individuals achieve
their greatest potential, and help them to work together as effective
teams.
Outward Bound Group Programs are custom designed under three formats:
High School & College Programs
help schools, colleges, camps, clubs, and youth organizations
develop self-direction, leadership and community. They have also
been shown to improve student retention, team performance, and achievement
levels.
Health & Social Services Programs
help individuals impacted by illness, injury, disability,
trauma, violence, intolerance or economic/social instability to
reacquire the confidence, trust, and esteem needed to energize their
lives and become fully contributing members of their communities.
Other Groups:
If you want to experience a wilderness adventure with a group
of friends, family, or colleagues, Outward Bound can develop a unique
program to serve your needs. We tailor activities to the abilities
of participants and keep the focus on shared adventure.
Designing a Program to Fit Your Needs
Decide on a program type, location and length that best suits your
group's schedule and needs then give us a call or fill out the form
on the Contact Us page. One of our Regional Directors will work
with you to tailor an itinerary that best meets your group's goals
and objectives. The duration, season and location of your program
along with the physical abilities of participants are factored into
the choice of activities. Each program is designed to be a unique
experience for your group.
What We Provide/What You Provide
We provide all specialized equipment (backpacks, tarps/tents, climbing
equipment, camp gear, boats and sleeping bags), food, lodging, transportation
during the program, secondary medical insurance, first aid supplies
and, of course, your instructors. Your group will need to bring
the appropriate clothing for the backcountry, and obtain transportation
to and from your program site. Before your program, we will provide
you with necessary information including clothing lists, conditioning
information, medical forms and directions to your program site.
Your group is responsible for completing and returning all medical
forms well before the course start date.
