Get Out And Lead (GOAL)

"I realized that I was stronger than I initially thought. Being away from home and completing an expedition for the first time helped me realize that." -Adrienne Y.

Selected applicants will have the opportunity to learn the value of cooperation and communication in a challenging, team-oriented environment. Upon completion of the course, you will return home with new skills, exciting stories, meaningful friendships, and insight into the strengths that lie within you. As a graduate of Outward Bound’s GOAL program, you will have opportunities to cultivate your leadership skills to benefit your community through service projects, reunions, and workshops throughout the year.

The GOAL Expedition is a merit-based scholarship expedition awarded to some of the area's elite youth leaders who are excited to challenge themselves and discover their leadership potential. This scholarship is available for rising 8th graders interested in attending this summer’s expedition in the Delaware Water Gap.
