Educator Expeditions

Outward Bound Educator Expeditions are professional development courses designed for educators and school administrators. The goal is to develop experiential education and social emotional learning skills that can be applied in a variety of learning environments. Our courses provide opportunities to personally experience Outward Bound and explore its renowned leadership curriculum.

Experiential education is learning by doing. Our courses encourage growth and peer-to-peer teaching and learning, build courage to take risks, inspire a sense of compassion, expand curiosity, and develop self-confidence and self-reliance. All courses foster communication, teamwork and leadership skills.

Scholarships are available for educators and youth-serving administrators in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas interested in attending one of this summer’s educators canoe expedition in the Delaware Water Gap.
