Northwest Outward Bound School (NWOBS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to changing lives through challenge and discovery. With 50 years of innovation in experiential and outdoor education, NWOBS provides students with tools to successfully complete their course, as well as tools to help students discover and develop their character, ability to lead and desire to serve others. Our wilderness courses take students from all different backgrounds on 10-50 day expeditions in the remote wilderness of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Students learn to work as a group to accomplish goals while mountaineering, backpacking, rock climbing, white water rafting, sailing, sea kayaking, and canoeing. Our instructors are the essential people that create such a positive impact on NWOBS students and why we hire motivated, passionate, experienced outdoor educators.
