Outward Bound Wilderness Expedition!!!

Anyone familiar with the Outward Bound Wilderness Expeditions?
They offer guided outdoors adventures in a variety of states and settings across the country. Usually their trips are 5-10 days of something like backpacking, climbing, mountaineering, canyoneering, kayaking, rafting, canoeing, and sailing, cross county skiing, snow shoeing, or dog sledding.
