Vic Kerr
Director of Safety, Education and Programs
Originally from Scotland, Vic has been involved with COBS since joining as an Assistant Instructor in 2004. In her current role as Director of Safety, Education and Programs Director she is committed to ensuring that that every student and staff experience is as safe, rewarding and rich as it can be.
Vic has climbed Denali, cycled through grizzly bear country from the Arctic Circle, guided dozens of students up glaciated peaks, run an ultra-race along the Continental Divide, skied pitches that required an abseil entry, recently took up open water swimming and teaching a 5-year-old how to ski. After two decades involved in leading groups through the valleys and mountains of Colorado, Utah, Alaska and Ecuador, her passion remains for exploring and discovering – both in the terrain we travel through and in the discoveries we make about ourselves.
She believes adventures are adventures simply because of the uncertainty, the challenge, the unknown, and less about the pace or the “extremeness”. She believes that every person, especially young folks should be given the chance to experience their adventure, and that Outward Bound can provide the opportunity to do so.
