Abstract	Presenting a rationale for experiential learning in higher education and an outline for Outward Bound (OB) program development, this guide includes: (1) personal priorities in an OB program (enhancing self-concept; recognizing individual needs; clarifying values; coping with stress and ambiguity; improving interpersonal relations; finding community and commonality); (2) OB institutional priorities (educational alternatives; experiential opportunities; student responsibility; student commitment/participation; campus orientation; institutional needs); (3) the goals and objectives of an OB program (personal development; interpersonal effectiveness; environmental awareness; experiential learning; values clarification; philosophy; and life styles); (4) OB goal implementation process (skills training; physical challenge; stress experiences; problem solving; self-actualization; reflection; evaluation; and service); (5) OB program types (the traditional 23-day wilderness survival experience; specially designed courses meeting specific group needs; short term courses for special groups; and sequential courses); (6) institutions with OB programs (Colorado College; Prescott; Dartmouth; Wheaton College Vanguard School; Boston University; Evergreen State College; University of North Carolina at Charlotte); (7) development priorities and goals (student growth; curriculum integration; faculty-student relations; leadership; and team-building); (8) development approaches.
