Carolina Outward Bound Helps Parents & Teens Bridge Generation
Gap
Imagine addressing
issues such as communication, personal responsibility and conflict
resolution while backpacking and rock climbing in the Southern
Appalachian Mountains. In addition to being fun, these wilderness
courses provide mothers and fathers, daughters and sons the perfect
forum for strengthening their family ties. After all, it’s not
often families have a chance to get away from the hectic nature
of work, school, and extracurricular activities to spend uninterrupted
time together.
In addition to
learning technical skills, students also spend time learning about
wilderness safety, environmental issues, community service and
personal responsibility.
North Carolina
