About this organization
Mission
Outward Bound California's mission is to change lives through challenge and discovery. By providing the highest quality outdoor education available in the world, Outward Bound California supports more than 2,200 youth and adults annually across California to take new risks and overcome new obstacles, both as individuals and within groups. Faced with the abundance of nature's lessons — from biting winds, to staggering heights, to scorching sun, and bone-soaking rain — participants discover within themselves and among their peers previously unknown reserves of resilience, balanced by more deeply felt compassion for their own limitations and that of their peers. These discoveries become assets that alumni can use to transform their lives, their communities, and the world.
About
For years, Outward Bound California (OBCA) has been delivering challenging outdoor adventure programs for people of all ages and walks of life. Every Outward Bound course is built around a progression that delivers powerful life lessons by encouraging participants to safely and confidently step outside their comfort zones while traveling in spectacular wilderness areas. The distinction—training through rather than for—is at the essence of the Outward Bound dynamic. The sea, mountains and desert provide training that no institute or university can offer. These landscapes, in tandem with Outward Bound principles, teach the hard, technical skills necessary for survival, but also teach the relevant skills necessary for life. A large part of Outward Bound focuses on group dynamics and development; however, it can be a very personal experience as well. By conquering their own challenges, participants discover their true potential and realize they are capable of more than they ever imagined. Outward Bound California is a nonprofit organization and is proud to be part of a national network of Outward Bound schools in the US and all over the world. Outward Bound entities collectively serve around a quarter of a million people a year in over 30 countries and has reached over seven million people in its 70-year history.
