McCown: Day 1 Training

We would like to welcome the ninth grade classes from Mc Cown High School in Staten Island to the Sharpe Reservation. Once off the bus, students got into their crews for their first day of training. Today, all will learn how to live outdoors, cook & clean lunch and dinne, dress for success and much more. On this warm sun-filled afternoon, crews will go to the low challenge course for team-building initiatives. This is the start of CREW ORIENTATION.

WELCOME TO NYC OUTWARD BOUND CREW ORIENTATION

This year NYC Outward Bound will serve approximately 750 incoming students from its' network of Expeditionary Learning Schools on this unique 4-5 day Outward Bound Course . The course is an important step in a school experience that teaches students that they can achieve more than they ever thought possible.

We hope to achieve the following outcomes:

For Students:
- I can challenge myself and others to try our best.
- I can demonstrate new skills for communicating and collaborating.
- I can participate fully and openly so my crew can share a transformative experience, developing our individual relationships and the crew’s potential.
- I can feel secure and trusting with my peers and advisor.
- I can articulate the role challenge plays in my development.
For Advisors:
- I can get to know my students more deeply.
- My crew can develop a common language and understanding of Outward Bound’s Common Practices.
Ultimately, the course enables crews to interact more effectively, creating a sense of belonging and shared values back at school.
