Move beyond your perceived limitations with the leader in experiential and outdoor education. For nearly 50 years, North Carolina Outward Bound School (NCOBS) has been delivering challenging outdoor adventure programs for people of all ages and walks of life. Every Outward Bound course is built around a progression that delivers powerful life lessons by encouraging participants to safely and confidently step outside their comfort zones while traveling in spectacular wilderness areas. We primarily choose to use the wilderness as our classroom where our objective is to train students through the wilderness, not for the wilderness.
Through these experiences, participants learn important skills for life, such as leadership, communication, conflict resolution, and teamwork. A large part of Outward Bound focuses on group dynamics and development, however it can be a very personal experience as well. By conquering their own challenges, participants discover their true potential and realize they are capable of more than they ever imagined.
NCOBS is a non-profit organization and is part of an international network of Outward Bound schools. Since its founding in 1941, Outward Bound has been helping participants discover or develop their strength of character, ability to lead and desire to serve. Each year Outward Bound serves a quarter of a million individuals internationally through its diverse programs.
A North Carolina Outward Bound School course is the beginning of a life-long journey. We offer courses for a broad range of groups, including high achieving youth, adults, troubled teens, school groups, educators, business professionals and veterans, that are both physically challenging and powerfully inspiring. From four to 72 days long, our wilderness programs take place in some of the premier outdoor education areas of the country, with activity options of mountaineering, backpacking, whitewater canoeing, rock climbing, coastal canoeing and sea kayaking.
To be “outward bound” literally means to leave the shelter of the harbor for the open sea; figuratively it means leaving comfort zones, putting fears aside and discovering new possibilities. Whatever your reason for choosing North Carolina Outward Bound School, every bend in the trail, eddy in the river and rock ledge of a mountain peak, are opportunities for personal growth. No experience is necessary, just the willingness to dig deep, embrace the moment and take the challenge.
Our School delivers programs in some premier outdoor recreation areas in the United States and South America. We currently offer programs in:
North Carolina Mountains
North Carolina Outer Banks
Everglades in Southern Florida
Patagonia, South America
Initiatives in Atlanta, Georgia
