What makes Outward Bound different from summer camps and other adventure programs?
North Carolina Outward Bound is not “summer camp.” We offer a full wilderness experience, which is much different than summer camp. You sleep outside under the stars each night in different spots along a National Forest, you cook meals outside on a camp stove and learn how to use a map and compass as well as other camping and technical skills. Outward Bound is more than fun and excitement. It’s about challenging yourself to do things you never thought possible and discovering your true potential. It’s the beginning of a personal journey that continues for the rest of your life. The real power of Outward Bound is what you make of it in expanding your possibilities. North Carolina Outward Bound courses are wilderness expeditions designed to propel students into character building experiences that require participants to dig deep and discover hidden strength. You will learn things on a course that you can apply to your daily life at home, school and work.
