This study examined the impact of an Outward Bound Ascent course on the self concept of at-risk adolescents. A twenty item survey was developed to assess whether participants believed a significant change had taken place in their self-concept as a result of participating in the course. Out of the 65 Outward Bound program participants who were surveyed throughout the United States, 24 responded. Participant responses indicate that a number of self-concept domains were positively affected through participation in the Outward Bound Ascent Program. In addition, participant responses identified a number of beneficial course components.
