Survivors of violence, cancer survivors, perpetrators of violence, Vietnam veterans, at-risk youth, school groups, fraternities and health service professionals are examples of the populations served. Participants experientially confront the issues that keep them from achieving their highest aspirations. Colorado Outward Bound Contract programs are predicated on the belief that individuals, teams and organizations are capable of transcending virtually any of the challenges which stand between them and the fulfillment of their highest aspirations. Our programs cultivate the qualities and skills that help individuals achieve their greatest potential, and help them to work effectively with others. The heart of any Outward Bound experience is learning by doing.
Programs are experiential, exciting, and engage the whole person.
We ask individuals and groups to stretch beyond their pre-conceived limits through activities which are safe, challenging, rewarding, fun and require support and collaboration. How people work together facing the challenges of Outward Bound provides significant insight as to how they work with others in their professional, academic, or home environments. We blend experience with opportunities to reflect on that experience, building connections for bringing the learning home. Outward Bound also cultivates environmental stewardship and a service ethic. The wilderness offers a spectacular and unique setting in which to address all program goals and objectives.
