In the summer of 2009, Outward Bound Philadelphia will offer a unique opportunity for youth aged 12-15 who have a love of the outdoors and who seek adventure and challenge. 

Running for four consecutive weeks, the Adventure Leadership Program (ALP) will offer week-long skill clinics in camping, climbing, canoeing, environmental education, and wilderness safety.  Outward Bound's instructors are trained and certified in a wide array of outdoor specialties. 

ALP will provide challenging experiences for young people while maintaining Outward Bound's high standard of safety.  Youth who enroll in ALP will learn Outward Bound's inclusive leadership technieques, teamwork skills, Leave No Trace outdoor ethics, and self-discovery through technical mastery and real-life exxperiences in and around Philadelphia's Fairmount Park. 

Sessions will run 8:30 am - 3:30 pm, Monday through Friday, with one overnight expedition each week.  Lunch and snacks will be provided. 

Cost per session: $395
