Voyageur Outward Bound School
At Voyageur Outward Bound School, we believe that when people discover a strength of character, an aptitude for leadership and desire to serve, it has a positive impact on their lives and the lives of those around them. And that discovery has the power to make the world a better place.
For over 50 years, we have been changing lives by using the wilderness as a classroom to provide unparalleled opportunities for personal growth, self-reliance, confidence, teamwork and compassion.
We offer life-changing expeditions and challenge experiences for everyone, regardless of social or economic status, race or gender, from struggling teens, to first generation urban youth, adults in transition or veterans integrating back into life outside of active duty.
"There is more in us than we know. If we can be made to see it perhaps for the rest of our lives we will be unwilling to settle for less." - Kurt Hahn, Outward Bound founder.
