The Power Of Outward Bound 

As 2025 draws to a close, we invite you to reflect on the unique opportunity that Outward Bound provides: helping students experience the outdoors in ways that prepare them for their future. These programs create lasting impact—not just for individuals, but for entire communities. 

Your year-end gift ensures that more young people have access to transformative experiences outdoors that build resilience, confidence, and character.

End Of Year Giving Impact

Each year, more than 1,000 students embark on Voyageur expeditions and INSIGHT days seeking something personal. What they take away is more than they anticipated—connection, purpose, and growth that will impact them and their communities for a lifetime. With your support in the final weeks of 2025, we can:

• Expand access to scholarships so that every student can participate, regardless of financial need.

• Support our instructors who lead with compassion and expertise.

• Maintain the essential tools of adventure, from canoes and climbing ropes to tents and trail mix.

Your generosity sustains our mission!
