Outward Bound Northwoods Alumni Service Week
09/24/05 to 10/01/05
Every spring and fall at our northern Minnesota basecamp we invite OB alumni to spend a week with us for only a $25 application fee. Move sleeping bags, paint a building, stack firewood and breathe fresh air with the camaraderie of fellow OB alums. We'll offer evening paddles and campfires, a climbing or ropes course day and a day trip or overnight in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. It's a great way to get outdoors, lend a hand and spend time with Outward Bound again.
Region: Minnesota
Activities: Rock Climbing or Ropes Course; Service to OB; Rejuvenate your OB experience
School: Voyageur Outward Bound School
