SCHOOL
NYC Outward Bound Schools transforms schools and changes lives by bringing its educational approach to NYC’s young people and their public schools, with a focus on students from educationally underserved communities. NYC Outward Bound offers a range of year-round, adventure and team-building programs intended to build community, develop character, and promote leadership. Experience the thrill of climbing NYC’s largest rock wall (60 feet high!) and participate in fun, hands-on activities that encourage goal-setting, problem-solving, teamwork, communication and trust. These programs are highly customizable and led by skilled instructors.

OUTREACH
There’s no better way to learn than by doing. This is the foundation of NYC Outward Bound Schools’ leadership development and team-building programs. These thoughtfully led programs are hands-on and involve a series of experiences that help build self-esteem, communication skills, and leadership ability. Participants take on challenges that encourage them to plan, problem-solve using available resources, innovate or engineer a new solution, work together despite individual differences, and practice time management. Activities vary based on program needs and goals, but may include tasks such as kaizen (continuous improvement), egg drops (requires packaging a raw egg that will have to sustain 60 ft. drop), or school-building simulations (teams negotiate for available resources to build their own school). Team-building programs can be conducted at conference and retreat centers, hotels, local parks, the client’s premises, or at NYC Outward Bound Schools’ headquarters in Long Island City.

ABOUT

FUN FACTS
One single tree can provide the oxygen required for two human beings and over 8,000 sheets of paper. Trees can also clean the soil and air by absorbing harmful pollutants. So what have you done for a tree lately? Nature centers and state parks provide a hands-on environment to discover facts about native plants and animals, as well as ways to preserve these natural resources.
