Is life perfect at home? No... she's still a teenager, however, I have noticed HUGE changes in her and she still uses the tools that she learned at OB. I think it's an experience of a lifetime and will absolutely carry some impact on her throughout her life. Just the other day we were reading her journal that she wrote during her experience and I cried as I always cry when I talk about her experience. Truly amazing! For those of you who are thinking about sending your child.... It's a win/win!

I was among the first female instructors in those days. The summer your mom took her course, I was working a Teacher's Practicum out of the Marble base camp. This year, the organization is celebrating their 50th ANNIVERSARY - having run their first course in the U.S.A. in June, 1962. There are 2 "ANNIVERSARY" courses this summer that will begin on June 16th in honor of that first course, C-1. More special memories.

I'm an Outward Bound alum! I did the Florida Keys trip on pulling boat 15 about 6 years ago. I highly highly recommend that trip. I had a blast and learned a ton. P.S. I'd be happy to share my photos if the admin wants to e-mail me. Thanks for the link to my site! I’m an Outward Bound alum! I did the Florida Keys trip on pulling boat 15 about 6 years ago.

I can recall my experience @hurricane Outward bound School as if it were just yesterday. I participate in the Outward bound school in the Summer of 1980. I had a terrific experience as i bonded with fifteen people who were from different states and we became a family for the duration of 21 days. I enjoyed my sailing lessons, rock climbing, solo, swimming, and running in the morning. The instructors were fantastic, and the seven day excursion on the water in the boat was truely a learning experience. I am very thankful that I was given the experience and will continue to support the schools in a positive and finiacial way. To the contributors and sponsors of the the hurricane Outward Bound school in 1980, Thank you for making a positive attitribut to an inner city girl from Philadelphia, Pa.
