Hi Kai,

The best part of an Outward Bound California course is that students realize they can do more than they thought. They cook over a camp stove, they sleep outside, hike uphill with a heavy pack, and they don’t check their phones once.

Sara wrote this after her High Sierra expedition: “In a chaotic & disconnected world, Outward Bound provided a snapshot of the world as it should be. Community, intention, simplicity, accountability...This experience felt like waking up.”

In 2025, we had more students than any other year: 3,521! Based on end-of-course surveys, 95% of students felt more connected to their group and 92% gained confidence. We also have an update on our new basecamp five minutes from Joshua Tree National Park: enrollment there is up 20% year over year.

Thank you for helping make this work possible and for being part of the story behind this 2025’s impact.

Warm regards,
