I recently completed a 72 day gap year semester North Carolina Outward Bound course that took place in Patagonia, the Everglades national park, and the Blue Ridge mountains. In the three months that I was on course, I was challenged and pushed harder than ever before in my young adult life. Through crossing a glacier in Argentina, to paddling for 24 hours straight in the Everglades, to rock climbing and white water canoeing in the mountains of North Carolina, I was pushed out of my comfort zone every day. I became extremely close with my ten crew mates, and every instructor I had on course. Now as I am adjusting back into life not living in the woods, I notice changes within myself on a daily basis, from the way I approach conflict, to the way I think about myself. I have a lot to thank Outward Bound for, but in particular I dedicate my new found work ethic, confidence, and ability to deal with difficult situations to NCOBS and will never forget the endless memories I made while on course.
July 1986 I had the greatest experiences ever when I was at home I did end up on my final Trek out off of the Appalachian trail end up in the hospital from numerous bee stings but when I was there I experienced everything and I loved it all, and if I had the experience to go back and teach and teach kids not to turn out like a bad kid you turn out to be a good person and end up enjoying life this is the place to go. You learn to achieve and not fail. My father Jeter McKinley was a instructor and I would like the opportunity to be able to come sprinkle his ashes off the side of one of our favorite climbs. Please get in touch with me so we can set something up.
Did a mini course through school for 10 days in Nov 1971. Hiking, obstacle courses, rock climbing & rappelling, baking granola, 20 mile group trail hike & bushwhacking—students only (no gps! Just a magnetic compass, map & description of desired destinations) culminating with a 2 night solo and then hike back to camp for the going away party later that evening. Incredible, unforgettable experience. Shout out to Chip, our leader.
