There is more in us than we know. On a Colorado Outward Bound School course, students are gently pushed out of their comfort zone in order to help them understand themselves, each other, and the world around them. While the course experience opens these new horizons, the true power of Outward Bound manifests when students return home to their families, friends, communities, and schools and bring with them the life lessons they learned on course. COBS offers courses that range in length from 8 to 81 days for youth, adults, veterans, business professionals, and community groups. Our courses take place in the farthest reaches of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, Alaska and Ecuador. Course activities include backpacking, mountaineering, whitewater rafting, rock climbing, kayaking, canyoneering and backcountry snowboarding and skiing. Photo by Adam Fisher.
