Building Adventure allows fundraisers to engage in a high-adrenaline rappel from the heights of an iconic Philadelphia skyscraper and become part of a community of fearless supporters that go “over the edge” for Outward Bound. No experience is needed and instruction is provided on the spot. Participants range from high school students to septuagenarians.

The fundraising goal for each individual is $1,750, less for members of a team - so gather 6 of your friends, family and coworkers and the fundraising goal is reduced to $1,250 per team member!

Funds raised support outdoor education opportunities for more than 100 public and charter schools in the Philadelphia region, allowing thousands of students to experience Outward Bound’s world-renowned experiential learning programs.
