OBA has profoundly impacted the Southern Californian community, helping urban children and young adults identify new vistas for their lives by gaining effective leadership skills and personal confidence through challenging outdoor excursions. SINGAPORE - Secondary 3 students who sign up for Outward Bound Singapore (OBS) programmes can now stay the night at camps for the first time in two years. By 1966, OBA expanded its service area beyond Pasadena to include Watts and much of Los Angeles County.įrom this simple beginning, OBA has evolved into a nationally recognized organization that uses the out of doors to educate youth and families about the environment and stewardship, promote self-development and provide outdoor career exposure to urban youth. The concept was founded by the German educator Kurt Hahn over 75 years ago, and today Outward Bound schools and programs are spread across 33 countries and 40 centers worldwide. Community interest in the program grew and in 1962 the Junior Audubon Club formally changed its name to Outward Bound Adventures and two years later officially incorporated as a nonprofit organization. Outward Bound is an international network of schools and the world’s leading provider of experiential learning programs in the wilderness.
