The expedition to Thompson Island is the first time that many young people have been away from home and out of the city. It is unlike anything they have previously experienced and demands that they push themselves in new and difficult ways.
Whether they are sailing on pulling boats, exploring the pristine salt marsh, participating in community service projects, or climbing the 60-foot alpine tower, students gain self-confidence and learn the skills they need to succeed. They learn perseverance, teamwork, goal setting skills, social and environmental responsibility. This would not be possible with out the generous support of our donors!

Supporting the Mission
Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center creates positive and lasting change by providing learning expeditions for young people, adults and organizations. Leveraging the island as a resource and Outward Bound core values, we partner with individuals, schools and communities to provide transformational experiences that teach compassion, teamwork, leadership, social and environmental responsibility.
We are committed to making participation in Thompson Island programs available to disadvantaged youth, especially those from the city of Boston and Boston Public Schools. We rely on the support of foundations, corporations and individuals to make this possible.
Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center Inc. is an independent and locally supported 501(c) (3) not for profit educational organization located on Thompson Island in the Boston Harbor. Thompson Island is steeped in a rich history of educational programming dating back to 1833. You will provide transformational experiences for young people who would not be able to participate in Thompson Island expeditions without your support.
