Adults - Ages 18+ or 23+

Here's the thing. Outward Bound lets you shrink life and live down with the bare minimums: food, clothing, shelter and other course mates. By minimizing daily distractions and exploring the wilderness for a week(s) at a time, you gain perspective on where you have been and where you are going. Outward Bound can benefit you at many stages in life. Being with a group of students who share a common experience, perspective or background can hasten bonding and increase the wisdom gained.

We offer a variety of courses limited to adult populations and generally shorter in length to accommodate the busier lifestyles of older students. These courses are available year round and are likely to be a little more strenuous than our Adult courses for individuals 30 and over.
