Costa Rica Outward Bound is an experiential education program designed to inspire and develop leadership, compassion, responsibility, respect for the environment and commitment to serve through adventure-based wilderness experiences in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama.

Outward Bound provides people with the opportunity to reinforce and strengthen their self-confidence, skills and capacity for growth and change. With a clearer and more confident view of themselves, their values and abilities, they will be more willing and able to make a positive difference to those around them. Outward Bound teaches respect for one's self and compassion for others.
