Until this summer, my only experience with the
wilderness was demanding to go home early from
summer camp. Outward Bound changed all that. I
had more than a great time-I had fun.
There were 8 in my group. Strangers from all
over the country who turned out to be as uncertain
as I was. We became a team, and then we became
friends.
The experience was physically challenging and
mentally stretching. I developed a relationship with
the environment that I'll never lose. And I found out
that a vacation can be an adventure, and that a
challenge is a terrific new experience.
Outward Bound runs 500 compelling, exhilarat-

ing courses for small groups of men and women, ages
14 and up, year round. You don't have to be an athlete
to plunge right into whitewater rafting, rock climb-
ing, canoeing, backpacking or sailing, and you can get
course credit at many high schools and colleges.
The catalog will tell you even more. Just write to
