Outward bound is a 20-day camping, backpacking, and canoeing trip that tests your mental and physical toughness and…

(National Outdoor Leadership School, 2013, pp. 3-4). Outward Bound is another program that is committed to standardizing risk management. Specifically, Outward Bound (2014) guarantees that their instructors are “certified as Wilderness First Responders, Wilderness Advanced First Aiders, or the equivalent and meet all Outward Bound, local, state, and federal requirements for their positions” (Staff Training, para. 1).

which caught my eye and made me want to join it as soon as possible. I knew this would be great opportunity to crack the worldview wide open and change as an individual. After getting accepted to Summer Search my new mentor, Tim, introduced me to Outward Bound. This is where a specific trip changed my life forever. Hearing words like “trust me jean, that confidence you have always wanted will come if you do this trip and complete it”. I sat back in my chair while looking straight into my mentor…
