Maddie Simpson on Outward Bound

This year we were extremely fortunate to be offered a number of 8 day scholarships by Outward Bound.  Maddie Simpson, Wyeth Andrews and Olivia Fogden took up the challenge.  Following are Maddie’s thoughts on her experience in April:

“After hearing everyone’s experiences with Outward Bound, I was sceptical in believing it was life-changing for every single person, but I can truly say I agree with them. It was an unforgettable experience that filled me with a sense of accomplishment after completing activities such as rock-climbing, sailing, navigating, hiking, sea-kayaking, and perhaps the scariest of them all, spending 8 days with 12 total strangers. It’s amazing how much I grew both mentally and physically and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to participate in such a transformative program like Outward Bound.”
