Anne Morrison
Oregon Program Director
Anne started her Outward Bound career in 2006 with the Southwest Program of the Colorado Outward Bound School (COBS) as an Assistant Instructor. During the eight years she worked with COBS, she worked in a variety of roles including Associate Program Director in 2011 and 2012. As an instructor, course director and trainer, Anne was fortunate to experience diverse course areas throughout Utah - rafting the Colorado, Green, Yampa and San Juan rivers, backpacking the LaSal Mountains and canyoneering through the canyons of the Robbers Roost and Dark Canyon plateau.
In addition to her years with Outward Bound, Anne also brings varied experience working in education with youth and teens. She has worked with both a wilderness therapy organization and an alternative education program with the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps in her native Vermont. This past April, Anne completed her Master’s in Education with a School Counseling license from Lewis and Clark College.
After leaving COBS in winter of 2012, Anne began her work with the Northwest Outward Bound School. Starting as an instructor with the Portland Programs, she has also worked with Student Services and as an instructor and trainer with both the Odin Falls and Mazama bases. Witnessing the personal growth that happens for students on course and within school settings, continues to fuel Anne’s passion for the work Outward Bound does.
When not sharing her passion for Outward Bound with others, Anne can be found exploring wild places by raft, foot, ski, bike or rope with her partner, Rob, and her dog, Freya.
