SHARE YOUR STORY

As an Outward Bound alumni, you are part of a powerful community. Outward Bound alumni share a common bond in their stories of challenge, discovery, and life-changing experiences. By sharing your story with us you are helping create a place where you and other alumni can go for reminders of the lessons you learned along the way. Your story is an important part of the Outward Bound experience and history; the laughter and tears, struggles and triumph, crumpled maps, meals under the stars, rugged mountains, tranquil waters, resilience, compassion, and unprecedented sense of accomplishment. Your story will also serve as an inspiration to others who might be looking to change their life through Outward Bound. Whether it was just a moment of the course or all 7, 22, 48+ days, take a moment to share your Outward Bound story.
