Step out of your routine—join us at Thompson Island Outward Bound for a journey through Boston Harbor or the White Mountains. A journey of self-discovery where you will test your limits—both physical and mental. Best of all, meet new friends as you build memories that last a lifetime!  Sail
In a 30-foot boat designed by the early Coast Guard, you will “come about” and “jibe” around Boston Harbor. Learn to read navigational charts, plotting courses around some of the 34 islands that make up the Boston Harbor Islands National Park Area.
Kayak
Paddle in a two-person kayak around the islands of Boston Harbor. Learn how to work together with your partner. Explore salt marshes, travelling to places where only a kayak can take you, and camp on island beaches. Canoe
On the rivers and streams of New Hampshire, learn to get around rocks and down river. Discover wildlife that make wetlands their home. Set up camp and talk late into the night about the day’s adventures.  Backpack and Camp
Explore the White Mountains National Forest in New Hampshire. Hike paths forged by Native Americans, rock climb, and camp out under the stars. Did you know that the famous Appalachian Trail, a 2,200-mile hiking path, passes through the White Mountains?

Ascend rock faces in the White Mountains. Test your strength and stamina as you climb and belay other climbers. Surprise Yourself
