Thirty days ago we started not only a new year, but a new decade. And with all the exciting things we have going on here at VOBS, it ZIPPED by in a hurry!

We hope all of your January's were filled with as much excitement, new challenges and solutions, as ours were. And as we launch head on into February, take a moment to reflect on those goals you set for 2020 and look towards the future ahead!

Yours in Adventure,
The Voyageur Outward Bound Crew

THINGS WE LOVE:
  • January's Legendary Voyageur: Maureen Beck - "How a one-handed champion is reinventing rock climbing - Born without her lower left arm, Maureen is pushing the sport to new heights." Submit recommendations for future legendary voyageurs here!
  • One of our favorite locations in Big Bend, Texas, just became a stamp!
  • The fact that Winona Ryder is actually from Winona, MN, and they made a wonderful commercial about it for the Super Bowl.
  • Scarf-bombing - Winter's most heart warming trend.
