Let the Summer Adventure Begin!
Boston Harbor Islands National Park Area
Serving Students for Over 60 Years—Founded in 1941 by German educator
Kurt Hahn, Outward Bound® is the world’s leading provider of adventure-based
learning. Our experiential philosophy continues in its long-standing tradition
of using the wilderness as a classroom for self-discovery. Each year,
over 60,000 students participate in Outward Bound programs.
Join Thompson Island Outward Bound
for an exciting adventure this summer.
®
Personal Growth
Thompson Island Outward Bound® aspires
to unleash the potential in each student.
We encourage kids to push themselves
beyond their perceived limits, to tackle
new challenges and to achieve their goals.
Instructors encourage active participation
in all aspects of the expedition such as
cooking, setting up shelters, making group
decisions and reflecting on experiences.
Journey
of
Self- Discovery
The term “Outward Bound” comes
from the days of tall ships and refers to
the moment a ship heads for the open
seas, leaving the safety of the harbor
behind. Hahn mirrored this occasion in
his experiential learning paradigm as
he encouraged students to take similar
journeys within themselves.
W h o C o m e s t o Th o m p s o n I s l a n d
O u t wa r d B o u n d®?
Our students come from all over the
United States and the world, from big cities
to small towns. We strive for diversity on
our expeditions to enrich the experience
for all participants. The young men and
women between the ages of 12-17 have
varied experiences and backgrounds.
Some have never spent a night away
from home while others have
gone on camping trips, sailed
and kayaked.
No Experience Necessary!
Courses are designed to be
challenging but not beyond the
ability of someone in average
physical condition. No prior outdoor
experience is needed—
just a positive attitude and a willing
spirit. We expect that each student has
made the decision to GO OUTWARD
BOUND® and is willing to participate
fully in the adventure.

Propel yourself through
the waters of the Boston
Harbor Islands National
Park Area in a two-person
kayak. Thompson Island
Outward Bound’s seakayaking expeditions
provide the opportunity
for you to learn paddling
techniques, capsize and
rescue procedures, weather
forecasting, and navigation
skills. You will explore
by day in your tandem
sea-kayaks and camp by
night on the islands of the
National Park Area. Work
together as a team and
challenge yourself as you
climb the 62’ Alpine Tower
on Thompson Island.
“The focus on the individual
is AMAZING—a transformative
experience. The instructor totally ‘got’
what my daughter is about, nurtured that
and encouraged her to take the next
step – in her case, to be a LEADER.”
—Parent, Connecting with Courage®
S a i l i ng
It’s time to cast your sails
to the wind and explore
the Boston Harbor Islands
National Park Area by
navigating yourself and
your fellow crewmates up
and down the coastline.
On this course, you will
join 10 other students in
a 30-foot pulling boat on
a journey that concludes
with climbing Thompson
Island’s 62' Alpine Tower.
Students will learn to
investigate water and
shoreline ecology, sailing
techniques and safety
procedures while living in
the outdoors. Each student
will take an active role
in learning seamanship
skills such as sail theory,
navigation, reading wind
and tides, sailing, rowing
and knot tying.

any people think courage means physical bravery; at
Outward Bound® we believe courage is about what
is in your heart, from facing your fears to speaking up for
what you believe in.
On a Connecting with Courage® (CWC) expedition, you
will focus on physical, mental and emotional skills while
spending 12 days in the Boston Harbor Islands National
Park Area. You’ll take an active role in learning both
personal and team-based sailing or sea-kayaking skills
such as navigation, technical skills, tide and wind reading,
knot tying, and studying the ecology and history of the
Harbor Islands.
While learning to live outside, you will form friendships,
build self-confidence, independence, and a powerful sense
of accomplishment. This course will focus on leadership
and teamwork, while allowing you to speak your mind and
express yourself.

assages® (OBPA) is an adventurous and challenging 12day Outward Bound® expedition, specifically designed
to guide your “passage” from adolescent to young man.
The course will give you the opportunity to find your
individual strengths and learn self-reliance as you live in
the outdoors and explore the waters of Boston Harbor.
Working together as a team, you’ll develop compassion,
confidence, leadership and teambuilding skills.
You will learn how to read nautical charts and navigate
along the Massachusetts coast. Meet new friends, enjoy
the great outdoors, and experience a summer adventure
that you’ll remember forever.
Passages® courses will give you a powerful sense of
accomplishment and independence—sending you back
into the world as a young man.
“It helped him grow and become much more
CONFIDENT. It helped him to appreciate all he
has in life. He gained something no one can
ever take away from him: The knowledge of
how much he can accomplish if he tries. This
gives him confidence that cannot disappear. It
was hard, but completely worth it to him.”

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are ‘pulling boats’?
Pulling boats are 30-foot open hulled, dual sailed boats
with a rear tiller designed specifically for Outward Bound.
The boats are sailed or oared depending on the weather.
2. How do we sleep on the boats?
There are no cabins on the boats, so the oars are laid
across the hull of the boat and the students’ sleeping
pads are put on top of the oars. Students fit best if they
alter the directions in which they sleep—head to foot.
If needed, a tarp is rigged to shelter the students from
the weather.
3. Where do we sleep while camping?
Participants sleep in 3-person A-frame tents or under tarp
shelters, which they are responsible for setting up.
8. How many instructors per group?
There typically are two instructors in the field per group:
a lead instructor, an assistant instructor, and a support
person. When on the boat, a Coast Guard licensed
captain is one of the instructors.
9. How old are the instructors?
Instructors are on average from 22 to 32 years of age.
More experienced lead instructors tend to be in their
mid-twenties and older. Summer interns who help
support courses are typically in their early twenties.
10. What kind of training do
instructors have?
4. Do we get to take showers?
All instructors are required to have completed intensive
Outward Bound training programs, CPR, and First Aid.
Lead instructors are required to have earned Wilderness
First Responder certification and have extensive field
experience working with youth and leading expeditions.
Many instructors have backgrounds in education, child
development, outdoor education, and clinical studies.
5. Who participates on these courses?
11. Does Thompson Island Outward
Bound check the backgrounds of
its instructors?
You will not have the opportunity to take showers
during the course. However, there are many refreshing water sources along the way and you will be able to
shower at the end of course before you return home.
Our students come from all over the United States (and
the world), with the majority coming from the New England
states. They are ages 12 – 17, both young women and
young men. Connecting with Courage®, Passages®, and
Environmental Expeditions are designed for youth who are
interested and motivated in a fun outdoor adventure! No
experience or specific skill required.
6. What is ‘solo’?
Yes, we conduct a GIS national background check on all
employees.
12. May I contact alumni?
Yes. Contact us by email or by phone and we will provide
you with names and phone numbers of alumni.
Email:[email protected]
Solo is a time for reflection and introspection. Students
relax and recharge as they think about what they have
experienced throughout their course. Typically the
Connecting with Courage® and Passages® solo lasts
anywhere from two to eight hours, depending on the
progress of the group. The Environmental Expeditions
solo is generally a 24-hour overnight experience. It is not
a survival exercise. Each student is assigned an area,
provided with water, food and other essentials, and
monitored by instructors.
