"As time went on I realized that everyone must practice compassion above all in order for us as people to grow out of our seedling shells and mature into a forest of oaks, shading and protecting each other from the storms in life." - Ryan

"The physical and mental demands of Outward Bound have given me the courage to take on any challenge and the confidence to know that I have the strength and intelligence to successfully overcome it." -Dustin

 "I never realized just how much I learned until the first time I tried explaining the adventure to my family.  I spouted out things like “leave no trace” and “lightning drill” and “happy sacs”, all of which they knew nothing about.  It has changed me in both big and small ways, and I fully believe that my time spent on Outward Bound has made me a better person."
- Sarah
