Outward Bound
Headed toward sea
Outward Bound is an international outdoor education organization that uses wilderness expeditions—hiking, sailing, mountaineering—to build character, resilience, and teamwork skills.
The name comes from nautical terminology: a ship that is outward bound is leaving port for the open sea.
The phrase suggests departure into challenge and the unknown: an outward bound journey.
