Since 1962, Colorado Outward Bound School (COBS) has provided transformative life experiences for people of all ages and backgrounds. With the outdoors as our classroom, we empower students to learn by stepping outside their comfort zone. Through challenge, discovery and connection in the outdoors, students discover that they are stronger than they know.
COBS offers courses that range in length from 8 to 81 days for youth, adults, veterans, business professionals, and community groups. Our courses take place in the farthest reaches of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. Course activities include backpacking, mountaineering, whitewater rafting, rock climbing, kayaking, canyoneering and backcountry snowboarding and skiing.
