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 Sierra, Joshua Tree and San Francisco, students can join a multi-week wilderness backpacking trip, build community on the San Francisco Ropes Challenge Course and, rock climb world-class granite in Joshua Tree! We are committed to serving low-income, traditionally excluded populations and effective community partnerships, giving more than half of our students a full or partial scholarship.
