Group Programs

Turn individuals and groups into high-performance leaders and teams. Outward Bound Atlanta creates organizational change through programs customized for your group.

In the wilderness, on a ropes course or in the boardroom, Outward Bound Atlanta can help improve your organization’s performance through leadership, team skills, effective communication and trust.

The Outward Bound Professional curriculum emphasizes individual transformation through challenge and integrates best practices learned from top-performing organizations and organizational development leaders. Outward Bound Professional annually serves more than 7,000 individuals and 400 corporate, non-profit and government organizations, helping them achieve more than they ever thought possible.

The Programs

The most powerful and sustainable learning comes from direct, relevant, concrete experiences. As corporate America’s premier provider of experiential leadership and team development, we will design a custom program to achieve your outcomes. Several broad frameworks exist, including the following:

Immersion Expedition Program

Three-to-five-day, wilderness-based programs are unparalleled for accelerated team performance and breakthrough leadership learning. These are tremendously effective when integrated into your internal leadership initiatives and are powerful as stand-alone team and leadership events. Most programs take place in the North Carolina mountains. The Ten Thousand Islands of Southwest Florida and South America are among other options.

Intensive Insight Program

These one- and two-day programs deliver a powerful team and relationship-building experience that would otherwise take weeks, months or years to develop. Participants will walk away with better knowledge of their colleagues and more open channels of communication and trust. These programs take place at our state-of-the-art Odyssey High Challenge course in Atlanta, truly a next-generation high ropes course, providing significant acceleration of team performance.

Accelerated Insight Program

Where else can you move your employees further along the relationship and team-building continuum with only a four-hour investment? Create a high-performance team as your group members learn about their colleagues, accelerate networking ability and grow professional relationships. The results: increased commitment to your organization and greater productivity. We can deliver these programs at a conference center, resort, park or at your site.

Wilderness Programs

Outward Bound Atlanta can partner with schools, colleges and groups to offer powerful learning experiences, with outdoor challenges as our classrooms.

We focus on the educational objectives and developmental needs of your specific group and can even design a program just for your group.

Working with our parent organization North Carolina Outward Bound guarantees you the expertise of the largest, oldest, most respected provider of outdoor education in the world. No one else offers wilderness education with the same commitment and expertise regarding character and leadership development, safety, and authenticity of experience.

Group Education Programs start at four days, however, we can design longer courses to meet your needs. A minimum number of participants is required.

Group Education Programs

Working with community-based groups, our programs foster a sense of self-worth, teamwork, respect for others, an appreciation of service and care for our environment and community.

Locally, both high ropes challenges and low ropes courses, from a half day to two days in length, provide tangible results.
