Yes, I searched before I made this thread. Didn't find what I was looking for. It looks awesome, I need a way to stay in shape during the summer. Have any of you personally experienced one, if so where did you go and what did you do? I am looking at going to Colorado, http://www.outwardboundwilderness.com/course/colorado_backpacking_climbing__rafting_-_youth_discovery_121.html .
It looks super awesome. I want to get ripped. Super expensive, but worth going if I can pull it off?

my friend's dad started the outward bound hurricane island place in maine.....outward bound sucks and is really gay, so it would be a perfect place for you joe! HAVE FUN

To like what makes us sad
To live when others die
To lose and say goodbye
To last until our moment comes

I did the 30 day canoe trip out near Thunder Bay, Ontario. One of the best experiences of my life. Gives you so many outdoor skills (and girls like skills), gets you a credit for school that is impossible to get a bad mark on, and you meet amazing people. Do it.

go to the one in utah instead and go rafting, its way more fun i think. catarac canyon is the shit to raft through. also you could canoe the green river from green river ut to the conflunce, that takes like 2 weeks and you go like 110 or so miles, i forget. if you want more info on those just ask.

if you are going to do OB, don't go with friends, it ruins the experience

hey has anyone done the outward bound in Hurricane Island? I'm applying for a scholarship to go there this summer. it looks like a lot of fun, espically the sailing and sea kayaking trips. I'm just a little confused about these solo things....is it just you're by yourself in the woods for a few days?

I'm not doing the one in the outward bound boats, cause I'm on a boat all the time anyways, and that sucks, and they don't have toilets and you have to shit over the side.

The solo thing, I think they just strand you on an island, and you have to live on your own for 2 days, then they come pick you back up. I'm doing the sweet ropes course one tho I think, not the boat/solo attack one.

i did the rock climbing one in the sierra nevadas. it was pretty damn fun and i learned a lot. this was a few years ago tho, so i dont know if they still have it.



I hope that some day we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people
