Outward Bound Chesapeake Bay

Outward Bound Chesapeake Bay We spark lifelong growth through challenge—outside.

Outward Bound is an international educational movement dedicated to the idea that people are capable of far more than they know. Originally designed by educator Kurt Hahn in 1941 to prepare young Britons to face the challenges of World War II, whether on the home front or in the uniformed services, the program fostered leadership qualities that were especially needed for those in the Merchant Mari

ne whose ships were "Outward Bound," headed to the high seas on the treacherous North Atlantic run. Now, in over 30 countries on six continents, Outward Bound schools prepare people to take on challenges and achieve more than they ever thought possible.

The data is clear: educators are investing in SEL programs.

Research from CASEL's Nationwide Policy Scan shows that social-emotional learning is driving meaningful gains in students' academic, social, and emotional outcomes, and school leaders across the country are taking notice.

For independent schools, this is especially powerful.

When you're mission-driven and already bringing SEL to students through experiential learning, you have a head start.

We'd love to be the partner that helps you take it further through outdoor, experiential programs designed to make those outcomes real.

The Episcopal High School crew traded their canoes for the trail this year, and we couldn't be prouder to be part of their journey.

Year after year, these students show up ready to challenge themselves, grow, and experience something they'll carry long after graduation.

Thank you, EHS, for your commitment to social-emotional learning in the outdoors!

It was great to see so many members of the CBOBS community turn up for our Cornerstone Celebration! Your belief in our mission to provide enriching outdoor experiences for the youth of the Chesapeake region has fueled our past 40 years, and energizes us for the many years to come.

We’re deeply grateful to our partners, supporters, students, staff, alumni, for making this kind of progress possible.

A special shout-out to our Adventurer tier sponsors, Scott Wohlander and Bloomberg Philanthropies, for their significant contributions to our mission.

Look at their faces.
The rawness.
The tenacity.

This is what it looks like when a student isn't just following a map; they're charting one.

That's the work. Stepping out of comfort and into potential. Slowing down long enough to uncover what's actually true about yourself. Your values. Your direction. Your true north.

We call ourselves chart makers, educators who stand alongside students as they figure out who they are and what they care about.

Are you a chart maker? Drop a 🧭 in the comments if this resonates with you.

What do you want your legacy to be?

What do you want to be remembered for?

These are the questions our instructors carry into every course, because they've asked them of themselves, too.

That's what Outward Bound is built on: instructors who care deeply, push you purposefully, and know the terrain because they've crossed it.
