Transformative teambuilding experiences. Cultivating resilient and compassionate leaders.

For over 50 years, Colorado Outward Bound School has been partnering with schools and businesses to help teams build skills for success. Through adventure in the outdoors, students learn social and emotional skills for life like teamwork, self-awareness, and social responsibility.

Learn to thrive as a team on our high ropes course, while rafting, or somewhere else in the great outdoors! Join us at our base camps in Colorado and Utah, or we'll bring our team to you.

TESTIMONIALS

The annual COBS course serves as the capstone of an intensive three-week orientation and team building process focused on integrating new Fellows to the El Pomar team. Spending a week in the backcountry together expedites the team building process, as the concepts of goal setting, creating a shared vision, encouragement, communication, trust, and vulnerability are all introduced and addressed in a safe environment. It is an incredibly rewarding experience that never fails to provide valuable personal insights and growth, while strengthening the rapport among co-workers.
