Emerging leaders are looking for
belonging, strength and purpose.
We want to work with them.
We invite you to partner with VOBS in 2023.

Under “normal” circumstances, connection with peers and caring adults is key to leadership development.
Today, as we emerge from the pandemic, educators tell us that their number one concern is
connection.
As we recover from COVID, we are also rebounding from isolation and apathy.
Young people are yearning to belong, to be strong, and to find purpose.
If you want to support emerging leaders, we are ready to partner with you.

Now is a great time to take another look at Outward Bound.
We work with schools, nonprofits and colleges. We support your goals–and your students’ goals–with relevant, custom-designed leadership expeditions.
In six days or more, we can help you catalyze leadership and create the conditions for life-changing discovery.
If you are looking for transformational experiential education, take another look at Outward Bound. It works.
But, don’t take our
word for it...

“By the end of my course, I felt fundamentally changed. I
entered as a shy girl wanting to make friends, but I exited as a capable leader who learned to persevere. I wish that every teen could have the same experience that I had– an experience that showed me my own self-worth.”
“I’ve had a difficult past few hears. I never really felt like I had people I could trust and talk to. It felt really good to build emotional bonds and finally feel like I can tell people about the challenges I’m facing.”
“When people ask me what I want to be when I grow up, I say I want to be content. But with that answer, I picture contentment as this super far away goal that can only be achieved when I
have a high caliber career and approval from others. VOBS showed me that I can be content today, without modern amenities, luxuries or dry socks. My life perspective has positively shifted in the span of seven days.”
“I learned that I don’t have to do this alone.”
“I’m going home with a new understanding of my capabilities, as well as my support system.”
“I came away with lifelong bonds with people I met just a week ago.”
“I wish everyone could experience a course like this. In just a few days, I feel like I’ve learned more than during an entire year of normal school.”
“I found happiness in working with others toward greater purpose.”
“I would like to sincerely thank Voyageur Outward Bound School for helping me to start becoming the person that I’ve wanted to be for a long time."
