Voyageur Outward Bound School
Greetings VOBSters,

May has arrived, though the weather is trying to trick us into thinking it's either still March or we landed straight in the middle of July! Needless to say, it's keeping all of us on our toes, namely our incredible field staff who have been "enjoying" some eventful staff training, including the novel experience of ICE CANOEING!

VOBS is about people and it is good to hear many new and familiar voices back on base! The summer is a wild ride and we're in the thick of preparing to welcome Outward Bound students to VOBS and see them discover there are no limits to what they can accomplish when they experience life-changing growth, community and connection to the outdoors.
Gratefully,
Your VOBS Crew
Things We Love

Experience Life Outside Your Comfort Zone

Why stay inside when there are over 193 million acres of National Forests and Grasslands to explore? Discover, learn, grow and serve on an Outward Bound Summer or Fall expedition in some of our nation’s most beautiful public lands. All expeditions cover lessons and practices on environmental stewardship, sustainability and Leave No Trace principles.

Explore Summer and Fall outdoor expeditions designed for you.

Winter programming has wrapped up in Texas and Ely, and the spring semester is coming to a triumphant close for Twin Cities school-year students. Now we’re all turning our attention to summer. It’s going to be busy, and we’re getting ready to help change many young lives at Homeplace and in the Twin Cities. Today, we’re pausing for a moment to take a look back at a first quarter of 2022 progress. Read the full report on our blog!
Boundary Waters and Texas Big Bend Leadership Semester

At Outward Bound, we don’t just step outside of comfort zones; we create memories outside of them. Memories like meeting your best friend, climbing a peak ascent, discovering your passions and finding life-changing direction. Experiences that will stick with you for the rest of your life.

Go Outward Bound as part of your gap year experience this fall!
