As we charge forward into the winter season at VOBS (snow has already fallen at Homeplace and in the Twin Cities), everyone is busy taking some much needed rest from a record summer season, and beginning to prepare for an epic winter through staff travel opportunities and dog training!


Course advisor, Instructor and dog trainer, Sammie Kapaun, took a moment to share her experience with Outward Bound National. Read the full blog here.


Down in Big Bend, Instructors are learning new skills and preparing for a Texas winter! Check out photos from fall staff training in Big Bend. Photos courtesy of VOBS Instructors Rachael and Ben!

On the Blog - Returning Home


"For me, it is simply coming home. In a sense, I've never left. Outward Bound initiated me in the way of the wilderness and self-discover."

Gary Lee, VOBS alumni from 1967, reflects on his return to Homeplace in 2017 for the 50th reunion of his OB course.

Check it out on the blog!
