It's officially summer! All staff training is complete, food and equipment purchased, students are heading out on course... the busy season is officially in full swing!

Each day we are reminded how much behind the scenes prep goes into setting up a course for success. We are Crew, Not Passengers.

This motto carries through to course and is instilled in our students as they embark into the wild and push themselves outside their comfort zones. Together, we can create positive and impactful change. We hope you continue to join us on that journey!

Love from,
Your Voyageur Outward Bound Crew

This week, we have our summer's first group of Middle School students returning back from their course.

Read on the blog "Why Fun Is An Important Part of Learning" and how that mentality is integrated into an Outward Bound course.
