July 24: Course End

Day 7
Day breaks on our last camp site. Students meet with their instructors to review their experiences, exchange feedback, and to claim their pins. A pin is awarded to each student who in some way exemplified the tenets of Outward Bound during the course. The pin signifies a student who finished "with style" versus a student who just comes along for the ride. This looks different for each student.

Were you tenacious? Compassionate? Did you take care of yourself and contribute to the well being of the group? Did you speak up when it was hard for you to do so? On our course, we asked our students to assess themselves.

Most importantly, we asked our students: which lessons will you carry with you into your every day life?
