Greetings VOBSters,

Summer was here, and now it's almost gone. We can hardly believe it! Our Homeplace basecamp and Twin Cities Center have quieted down and as our Homeplace summer program director put it, "we are left with the glow of all the people and students that lived, played, learned and worked here this summer."

That "glow" is why we do what we do and after such an incredible summer, we are reminded of all the reasons why Outward Bound is needed now, more than ever. Individuals come together, in nature, and find space for reflection, for growth, for meeting new people and doing new things. The experiences shared by our students and our instructors create a lasting impact that ripples through communities far and wide. That "glow" is the true power of Outward Bound. And we couldn't do it without our incredible community. Thank you for being part of the journey!

With gratitude,
Your VOBS Crew
