Here, the first Outward Bound course in America, modeled after that at the original Outward Bound School in Wales, was founded in 1961. The Colorado school is reached solely via a steep, precipitous, sharp-rock-filled one-lane road, and that is the tamest experience at the school. What awaits its students of all ages, according to the school, is anything but a summer camp. They encounter "a physically challenging, mentally toughening and emotionally exhilarating experience," discovering that they are capable of "much more than [they] ever imagined."
