Give the gift of adventure and self-discovery to Colorado and Utah youth!

Now more than ever, young people need the chance to connect with themselves, each other, and the outdoors. Your support helps us provide youth with transformative outdoor and leadership building opportunities.  Together, we can achieve our vision of a more resilient and compassionate world. 

Your Impact

Student Opportunity Fund

We're taking on an exciting challenge - raising $500,000 to launch the COBS Student Opportunity Fund—a dedicated scholarship fund focused on getting more local youth outside and into the transformative world of Outward Bound. You can help a young person take their first steps into the outdoors - donate today to open the outdoors to every kid.
