NW Outward Bounds Fundraiser - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

They are an adventure school which anyone can go to but they also have scholarships for underprivileged youth and for veterans at no cost to the veteran. Veterans are aloud two trips. I have been on two, one to the Sierras for 6 days and one to San Juan Islands in Washington State. They are raising funds to help support the youth scholarships and veterans. Being a veteran, I am helping to raise funds toward the veteran scholarship. This is an awesome opportunity for any veteran and the donations are tax deductible. Thank you for the questions

So. Are they a for profit or a non profit organization?

Any person can attend this school by paying for a course but there are certain courses that vets can attend free of charge including transportation to and from and use of all equipment. Same goes for underprivileged youth. You can look up Outward Bound on the internet and they happen to be all over the country. I just happened to use the NWOB because the things I wanted to do were in the NW. Once on their site, they can search for a course using a drop down box and search for veteran courses, see which ones are being offered, the dates and all information about the course and apply. Once they have your application, they will receive an email with certain documents that need to be filled out and then if they are chosen they will be notified. Unfortunately, there are only a few spots open per course depending on how many scholarships or donations they have.
