Outward Bound: Different than Camp

Camp is great… but what if your teen not only had fun next summer (or March break!) and also developed resilience and social-emotional skills that will help them at home, school, and work? 

What makes Outward Bound Unique?

Our expeditions involve heading into nature for 7-32 days with a group of peers and highly trained instructors who are experts in risk management. By canoeing in the Ontario wilderness, hiking up a Rocky Mountain, or kayaking in the Pacific Ocean, your teen will challenge themselves and learn lessons that will stay with them for life. Use the guide below to find your epic adventure today!

“This experience reiterated that I can do anything I set my mind to. I have the skills and knowledge to thrive in any situation. I was more reserved than usual and let others take the lead, which was hard. What I liked most was the serenity I got from being outside.”
