Outward Bound Wilderness
Outward Bound wilderness programs, such as the programs run by the North Carolina Outward Bound School (NCOBS) and Outward Bound in Maine, Minnesota, Colorado, and California (plus others), offer experiential learning wilderness programs to teens and adults. Besides teaching wilderness skills, the programs also try to teach leadership and compassion to participants.

Famous quotes containing the words outward, bound and/or wilderness:
“I do believe that the outward and the inward life correspond; that if any should succeed to live a higher life, others would not know of it; that difference and distance are one. To set about living a true life is to go on a journey to a distant country, gradually to find ourselves surrounded by new scenes and men; and as long as the old are around me, I know that I am not in any true sense living a new or a better life.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I am bound to tell what I am told, but not in every case to believe it.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
“What is most striking in the Maine wilderness is the continuousness of the forest, with fewer open intervals or glades than you had imagined. Except the few burnt lands, the narrow intervals on the rivers, the bare tops of the high mountains, and the lakes and streams, the forest is uninterrupted.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
