Same Outward Bound… just a lighter backpack....Outward
Bound is known for ardor and strain; however, it is also known for unforgettable
experiential activities that challenge and broaden your view of the world. If
you want all the beauty and excitement of the Adult Multi-Element Course but
aren’t up for the full physical endurance try our Outward Bound Ultra
Light 8-day course. Do all of the things that CRROBS is famous for, but do it
all with just ten pounds on your back! You’ll be so light you’ll
feel like you’re flying through the rainforest with all of the exotic
birds.
