Today in the United States, Outward Bound learning expeditions and programs are changing the lives of roughly 35,000 students, every year.

With 11 chartered Outward Bound schools across the country and over 1,000 courses offered, regardless of your age or circumstances, there is an Outward Bound course at an Outward Bound school that is right for every student.

Outward Bound learning expeditions and programs are inside city and suburban classrooms and outside in breathtaking wilderness settings. All programs adhere to Outward Bound’s unique and powerful educational framework, and are lead by our core values of compassion, integrity, excellence, and inclusion and diversity.

Our Classic Outward Bound wilderness expeditionary courses are available for all middle-school, high school, college and adult students.

We also have a range of specialized programs developed for specific groups such as: our award-winning program for Veterans, young people grieving with loss, and families with members struggling with issues at school or at home. Outward Bound also develops programs for professionals and groups, with curriculums geared toward ‘intact groups’ and team-building/performance improvement.
