About this organization
Mission
Changing lives through challenge and discovery. North Carolina Outward Bound School (NCOBS) wilderness programs are designed for youth, adults, school groups, struggling teens and young adults, corporate teams, military veterans and educators. They are offered in North Carolina's mountains and Outer Banks, Florida's Everglades and rivers, South America's Patagonia region, and in Atlanta with partner schools. With common elements of challenge and adventure, learning through experience, and a supportive group environment, students of all ages learn to persevere and soon realize they are capable of so much more than they ever thought possible. They learn to communicate effectively, lead a group of their peers and practice compassion as they work with their crew to accomplish goals. All programs embody the timeless, founding Pillars of Outward Bound - Self-Reliance, Fitness, Craftsmanship, and above all, Compassion.
