Camp is great… But what if your teen not only had fun next summer (or March Break!) but also developed social-emotional skills that will help them at home, school, and work?
What makes Outward Bound unique?
Our expeditions involve heading into nature for 7-32 days with a group of peers and highly trained instructors. By canoeing in the Ontario wilderness, hiking in the Rocky Mountains, or kayaking in the Pacific Ocean, your teen will learn lessons that will stay with them for life.
High school credit under the stars
Students 15 years or older can earn high school credits upon successfully completing Outward Bound Canada courses longer than 15 days.
