Outdoor Adventure with Soul
What is it?
Outbound is an outdoor adventure program designed with spiritual formation in mind. We seek to support young people in grades 6-12 in building a connection with themselves, each other and God through outdoor adventure. This is a place for youth to belong in a positive, supportive community that fosters a growing sense of self as a treasured person made in God’s image.
Outbound is for 6th-12th graders.
Details:
Basecamp: On the 1st & 3rd Thursdays of the month, students gather with adult leaders from 7-8:30 pm at Healdsburg Community Church. This is a time for community-building, skill-development and spiritual conversation.
Adventures: Each month the Outbound team will embark on an adventure designed to build our sense of connection with each other and explore the beauty of Sonoma.

Capstone:
Each summer, Outbound youth go on a Capstone Adventure trip. This trip features some form of backpacking, white water rafting, hiking, or camping. Capstone is designed to help youth reflect on the past year of their faith journey and use their outdoor skills. The Capstone Trip is open to youth who have been active in Outbound throughout the year.
