Outdoor Odyssey

This year’s Leadership Academy is June 8-13! We can’t wait to welcome a new class of young leaders to the mountain and help them as they prepare to become mentors to younger students within their school districts. #OutdoorOdyssey #growththroughadventure #leadership #teambuilding #mentoring

LOOKING FOR A CHALLENGE, EXCITEMENT, LEADERSHIP SKILLS, AND CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS, WHILE DEVELOPING SKILLS IN MENTAL FITNESS & RESILIENCY? If so, set up a time to interview for a position as a summer counselor at Outdoor Odyssey. 2025 will be Outdoor Odyssey's 27th summer making a difference in the lives of others. I spent over three decades as a Marine Infantry Officer with NO shortage of life-changing experiences in locales all over the world. Without a hint of exaggeration, the hands-on opportunities to develop dynamic leadership skills, learn the importance and use of emotional intelligence, and work toward acquiring certification as a Mental Fitness & Resiliency Trainer (MFRT) easily rival opportunities for personal growth experienced as a Marine. Most exciting, the summer counselor gets the daily opportunity to change lives of others, many of whom have faced significant challenges in their young lives. You will join a team for life, becoming part of an expansive network, providing you a mentor in your chosen field. Are you ready for a challenge and a MAJOR DOSE of excitement and inspiration? If so, see if you have what it takes to become a member of the Outdoor Odyssey Team and its IMPRESSIVE array of alumni who have helped change and shape lives for the past 27 years. Warm regards & Semper Fi, T.S. Jones, Founder/Executive Director, Major General USMC (ret)

We encourage our participants to regularly set goals for themselves. The start of a new year is a great time to reflect on the goals you set last year, evaluate your progress, and set new goals personally, professionally, and/or academically. We believe that an important part of working toward goals is to share them with others. When our participants reach out to their teams, they have a support system that can help them make their dreams a reality! #OutdoorOdyssey #growththroughadventure #leadership #teambuilding
