Bringing experiential learning to your students.
Northwest Outward Bound School encourages students to reach further than they thought possible—physically and emotionally—to find the untapped strength within themselves.
Through every Outward Bound course, students discover skills that last a lifetime, compassion for themselves and others, and a new understanding of what they can achieve.

Classroom Series
The Northwest Outward Bound School Classroom Series brings challenge and collaboration into the classroom through team building and character development activities. Through shared experiences and successes, Outward Bound students build resilience and create lasting relationships with peers.
Wilderness Expeditions
Northwest Outward Bound School Wilderness Expeditions encourages students to reach further than they thought possible — physically and emotionally — to find the untapped strength within themselves. With course areas in Central Oregon and Washington, and activities like rafting, backpacking or climbing, our programs are tailored to the goals and targeted outcomes of your class.
Pinnacle Program
The Pinnacle Program is more than an Outward Bound wilderness course – it provides long-term support for youth historically excluded from outdoor education and leadership opportunities. Students go on a life-changing Outward Bound course, free of tuition, and step outside of their comfort zone to see what they are capable of achieving.
