Carry the Flame
The Remarkable Story of the Canadian Outward Bound Wilderness School
May 20, 2025
Carry the Flame vividly recounts the establishment and early years of the Canadian Outward Bound Wilderness School in Northwest Ontario during the 1970s and 1980s. Throughout more than 50 eclectic essays, former staff, administrators, board members, and students articulate the distinctive, unique spirit of the school and its lasting impact on their lives to this day.
In this splendid collection of essays and poems, you see campfires and hear the cadence of voices. . . . They are practical and poetic, wise and funny. Pull up a spruce bench . . . enjoy the conversations.
—Joe MacInnis, physician, explorer, author of Deep Leadership
