The program was comprehensive in its problem solving approach. If only one person “changes” that isn't enough to attempt to support and understand the kid. Parent involvement was key! We also liked that the course was HARD.

Thank you in all you do to provide a safe, thoughtful, fun, challenging, caring and bold experience for the students and families! My daughter completed a 50-day Intercept program and has had a major reset of her self-confidence, goals and attitude. She is a joy to be around again …and after only three days home says she misses trail life and after four days home left to go camping - it's spectacular. Thank you all!
I liked that this program mirrors life in our home; that it uses mother nature to teach life lessons, then tools for what occurs in life back home.
Outward Bound has been a life changing tool that has allowed me to stop and take a second look at the path I want to go down, versus the path I have been following. Living with a group of individuals has taught me a lot about perspective and that everyone has their struggles but there's always a way to push past them. I'm leaving this course with a new understanding of empathy and accountability while leaving behind my negative energy towards others. I will remember the Outward Bound community and what they stand for.
When I get home, I can tell people that Outward Bound reminded me about who I really am and want to be. It kickstarted that change into being a better person.
This course changed my life. I challenged myself physically and mentally everyday whether that was paddling and portaging or having conversations on how I can better myself with my group.
