Colorado Outward Bound School

or people of all ages and all walks of life, Colorado Outward Bound School is the educational organization that helps students discover strength of character, the ability to lead and a desire to serve. On a COBS course, students are gently pushed out of their comfort zone in order to help them understand themselves, each other, and the world around them. While the course experience opens new horizons, the true power manifests when students return home to their families, friends, communities, and schools and bring with them the life lessons they learned on course. COBS offers courses that range in length from 8 to 81 days for youth, adults, veterans, business professionals, and community groups. Our courses take place in the farthest reaches of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, Alaska and Ecuador. Course activities include mountaineering, whitewater rafting, rock climbing, sea kayaking, mountain and canyon backpacking, canyoneering and backcountry snowboarding and skiing. Mission: To change lives through challenge and discovery. To serve, to strive and not to yield.
