With over one million supporters and alumni nationwide, plus close to 50,000 new students embarking on learning expeditions each year, the Outward Bound community is sizable, vibrant and engaged. Outward Bound USA hosts several events throughout the year to help bring this community together. These events are wonderful opportunities to meet like-minded alumni, introduce prospective donors and celebrate the important work Outward Bound is doing in your city, state or neighborhood.

Invitational Expeditions

An Invitational Expedition is a custom course designed to promote the understanding of the mission and programs of Outward Bound, to build support for the work of Outward Bound USA and to provide a significant, impactful program experience. Invitational Expeditions are hosted by key supporters and volunteers with the intent of cultivating and creating new donors and advocates for Outward Bound.
