Let your Discovery Begin...Scottsmoor FINS

 "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

The FINS (Families In Need of Services) Program

The Outward Bound Discovery School operates highly structured 20-day educational expeditionary courses for troubled youth. The first phase of each course is a demanding 20-day canoeing expedition conducted on the river systems of Central Florida. Along with their instructors, students paddle 10-15 miles each day before establishing camp at remote riverside sites. They cook their own meals, sleep in tents, and as a group deal with behavioral problems when they occur. Following this wilderness phase, a follow up reinforcement component begins with program staff working with students and their families in their homes, schools, and communities, to ensure a logical transference of skills from the wilderness back to home.

Testimonials from Students & Parents

"This was a long course of Outward Bound Discovery School. I know for sure we all learned a lot from this 20-day experience. There were fun times and yet discouraging times, but we all made it through. All of us girls helped each other out. We all had goals during this program, and we all achieved them in a timely fashion. On the other hand, we had good and bad consequences, and from this, I learned the way you act is what you get in life. It was very tough at the beginning, but we succeeded our challenge and made it through until the end."

"Thank you for your dedication, sacrifice, and determination in making a difference in our children."
