I liked that this program mirrors life in our home; that it uses mother nature to teach life lessons, then provides tools for what occurs in life back home.

We like that it is not just about the outdoors or adventure. The program does an excellent job of tying in developmental lessons and great conflict resolution methodologies that can create a nice level playing field for families when we leave.
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.
I liked that the principles of Outward Bound were extended to serve a particular segment of families that have distinct needs. I really like the addition of the family seminar as a means to give families tools and to provide families with support for each other. The relationships with staff were very professional, yet warm.
This course changed my life. I challenged myself physically and mentally every day whether that was paddling and portaging or having conversations on how I can better myself with my group.
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.
