You're Always Family
As someone who's completed a Philadelphia Outward Bound School course, you can count yourself among a special group of people who have pushed themselves far beyond they ever thought possible.
Now it's time to transfer the skills you learn on course back home and become a leader in your community! As an alumni to our school we encourage you to stay in touch, share your memories and pass on your knowledge.
To serve, to strive and not to yield.
