Community Partners
Partner Schools
Outward Bound California believes that a collaborative spirit on and off course is the best way to see a well-rounded community thrive.
Through Outward Bound California’s bases in the High Sierras, Joshua Tree and San Francisco Bay Area, students can embark on a multi-week wilderness backpacking trip, gain deeper cultural understanding on an Urban Expedition, build community through a one-day rock climbing course and much more! We are committed to serving low-income, traditionally excluded populations and effective community partnerships, giving two in three of our students a full or partial scholarship.
