Outward Bound transforms lives in ways that extend far beyond the wilderness. Alumni often share how their journeys helped them discover hidden courage, build resilience, and find confidence to overcome obstacles. These experiences shape not only who they are but also how they lead and connect with others.

On course, participants face challenges that test their limits and teach them that perseverance leads to success. Through teamwork, communication, and self-awareness, they gain the tools to make lasting positive changes in their lives.

For many, Outward Bound is a turning point -- empowering them to become confident, compassionate leaders who create a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

MEASURABLE IMPACT

Outward Bound uses the Domains of Thriving tool to measure and decipher the impact of comprehensive experiential learning that confirms Outward Bound’s approach. The Outward Bound Professional Learning Lab supports an evolution of best practices, collecting and analyzing data on program delivery and student outcomes to inform program improvement, assuring participants that they’re getting proven, research-backed experiences.

Instructors are well-versed in the Domains of Thriving and foster supportive environments. Every program establishes optimal learning conditions and targets crucial skills. Because of this, Outward Bound equips students with the tools to create positive change for themselves and their communities.

Through post-course surveys, Voyageur collects outcomes data from each student, and the results affirm that Outward Bound positively impacts and changes lives.
