Join Outward Bound Canada Principal Rob Wallis on November 23rd as he introduces the many adventures that make up an Outward Bound program. From sea kayaking to snow shoeing, surfing to rock climbing, Outward Bound has been helping youth learn through adventure for over 80 years, and is now in 35 countries worldwide including 52 years in Canada! Rob will go through the reasons why Outward Bound started in the first place, and what makes it so relevant today. You’ll have the chance to test your survival skills during this session, and learn some of the most common reasons your campfire won’t light, or why your hands might turn blue in winter! You’ll also learn that there’s far more to an Outward Bound course than technical survival skills - and you may find out there’s more in you than you think!
