Outward Bound Canada

National

Outward Bound Canada is a registered charity that empowers youth through experiential adventures in nature. Since 1969, more than 200,000 participants have experienced our unique programs from coast to coast. Many of the youth who complete our programs as individuals or through their school are underserved with outdoor education and need our scholarships and bursaries. Using the outdoors as our dynamic classroom, we help thousands of young people annually to develop resilience, and build their physical, social, and emotional skills and environmental leadership.
