At the heart of every Outward Bound experience is the philosophy of learning by doing, placing yourself in unfamiliar environments, with all necessary tools for solving problems. The challenges we offer require cooperation, teamwork, leadership, and communication.
Following periods of activity, we will ask you and your team to reflect on your actions and discuss what you have learned in order for you to develop new skills and tools, a deeper understanding of individual and team strengths, and an awareness of the areas where the team can improve both performance and results. We also hope that the experience offers insights that are relevant in your personal life.
What will we be doing? We use a variety of activities as vehicles for learning and positive change. Some of the activities may be physically strenuous for you. We plan all of our activities with a wide variety of physical abilities in mind and will ask that you participate at the level that makes sense for you. Please be sure to refer to the CLOTHING AND GEAR tab to ensure you bring clothing that will keep you comfortable regardless of the weather.
