Abstract:
Every twenty-six days in the Pisgah National Forest, sixty young men from the ages of sixteen to twenty-four finish a grueling course of physical and mental challenges far beyond anything they had dreamed of doing. This course is offered by the Morganton Outward Bound School, one of twenty-four such centers worldwide. Only five of them operate in the United States. The schools are not interested so much in developing skills as in changing attitudes and in helping the young men discover their true potential. Lineberger describes a typical Outward Bound course, which includes preparatory training, rock-climbing, physical conditioning, rescue and fire training, expedition, solo, and value formation.
