- Abstract
Providing traditional knowledge and skills, the Colorado Outward Bound School (COBS) program has developed its program around a training phase, an expedition, solo, final expedition, and concluding phase. Intended to be an experiential learning experience that encourages students to become involved in exploring new or unusual areas of their lives, the program aims to place the student in situations that enable him to learn from his experience. This manual provides the information necessary to conduct an Outward Bound course safely and successfully. The manual contains: the objectives of the COBS program; a syllabus of activities that make up a typical Outward Bound course--arrival, training, resupply, expedition, solo, final expedition, marathon, and wrap-up; comments that help guide the instructor in applying the syllabus; an action plan for dealing with emergency situations (steps and techniques); safety policy that must be adhered to; procedures that provide guidelines for activities on a course; expectations for staff; necessary reports; and lesson plans for rock, snow, and ice climbing, peak climbs, backcountry ethic, campcraft, use of the map and compass, zip line and gorge crossing, the ropes course, the run and dip, and the marathon.
