Outward Bound for Veterans

Reenergizing Veterans Through Adventure and Challenge.

Outward Bound for Veterans helps thousands of returning service members and recent veterans readjust to life at home through powerful wilderness courses that draw on the healing benefit of teamwork and challenge through use of the natural world. 

Some of our Veteran Alumni Testimonials

"Since our return home we have all been forced to reinvent who we are and how we will fit back into the world we left behind. This trip has given me confidence, hope, and a sense of peace that I thought haven't had since before my deployment to Afghanistan."

Brandon
Veterans Utah Rafting

"My experience in Iraq has left my life empty and miserable. I smiled and laughed more in the last week than in the last three years combined."

Victor
Veterans Florida Keys Sailing

"I am a two-time combat vet that rarely has time to enjoy life. This is a new beginning for me and has lifted e out of my depressed state of mind. This program has given me a reason to start living and not want to die. Thank you!"

Jacob
Veterans MN Dog Sledding

"Probably more important was my realization that they could have spent two years of weekly individual psychotherapy, and not reaped the therapeutic benefits of being on the ocean for 6 days as part of a team with a common objective"
