Join the OBCA Thru-Hiker monthly giving program!
OBCA Thru-Hikers are a community of people who believe every young person deserves the opportunity to experience the joy and power of Outward Bound, regardless of their ability to pay or previous experiences. They make a monthly donation in support of their vision of a world where every student has access to nature and the outdoors.
Why become a monthly donor?
Monthly donors serve a vital role in organizations like OBCA. As a monthly donor, your ongoing support provides reliable funding so our programs can keep operating without concern about gaps in funding. By becoming a monthly donor, you can make a lasting impact on a cause that matters to you.
What's a Thru-Hiker?
A thru-hike is an end-to-end backpacking trip on a long-distance trail. At Outward Bound California, we’re on that long journey ‘to change lives through challenge and discovery.‘ And we’re hoping you’ll lace up your hiking shoes, pack your favorite granola and join us on the trail.
