Our Story
Outward Bound Costa Rica
Outward Bound Costa Rica inspires a lifetime of leadership, growth, and a commitment to serve through adventure-based learning. Since 1994, led by highly skilled and safety-conscious staff, we have delivered experiential education courses, utilizing Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua’s tropical rivers, reefs, and rainforests to help participants discover their hidden potential, and move beyond what they thought possible. We believe that the development of leadership skills, service experience, self-esteem and self-confidence is paramount for students and adults to thrive—in the classroom, in the workplace, in their family and in the world. Our educational model is based on 70+ years of teaching through experiential learning.
Our Activities
Our team is made up of a mix of Ticos (Costa Ricans) and international staff. We come from all walks of life but one things we all have in common - we love outdoor adventures! Between us we have years of experience in running programs, meeting and working with new people, certifications for each of our activities and languages!
