“The Outward Bound Training for Outdoor Professionals was such an incredible, memorable, and educational experience run by the most kind, knowledgeable & encouraging instructors, I cannot recommend it enough!! The outdoors is something that everyone should get to experience, no matter their race, age, or income status. With outward bounds efforts, I can see the Outdoor sector transforming & opening up, allowing more individuals to learn, grow, and play in the Outdoors, and I think that’s something really special.”

“The training academy is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Which sounds so cliche, but it honestly was! I learned so much about guiding and what happens behind the scenes while on trip. I also learned about myself. The instructors really knew when and how to challenge me, and I left feeling more confident in myself and my abilities! I will forever cherish my time as part of the academy. If you haven’t applied yet, do it! You won’t regret it!”

“I had the most amazing experience with the Training Academy! I feel so much more confident in my abilities in the outdoors, and also feel comfortable taking others outside to enjoy the beauty of nature. I cannot say enough about this program, including the amazing facilitator’s who shared their wealth of knowledge, along with their passion for the outdoors. If I could, I would take the training all over again, just to meet the next cohort of trainees who are curious like me!”
