City Skyline Challenge

Outward Bound California's City Skyline Challenge will be an event like no other, giving participants the chance to experience an exhilarating 230 foot rappel from the roof of the Hyatt Regency at 5 Embarcadero Center. The high perceived risk of this actually very safe activity will give brave San Franciscans like you a mental and physical challenge that you'll be sure to remember for years to come! In boldly going "Over the Edge" with us, participants will discover the same thing that our students discover every day on courses with us-that they are capable of achieving more than they ever thought possible.

Come hang out during the day Thursday and Friday 3/27 and 3/28 to see local celebs rappel with us! 

  • SF Giants' mascot Lou Seal
  • SF City Supervisor David Chui
  • Senator Mark Leno
  • Kate Scott, KNBR Radio
  • Many more familiar faces!

Outward Bound's mission is to change lives through challenge and discovery. Through this first time, headlining event, we will raise funds to dramatically increase the number of low-income students who are able to participate in Outward Bound programs in the Bay Area and throughout California.  Each rappeller will raise a minimum of $1,500 for the chance to rappel which will go to support scholarships for our students.

The City Skyline Challenge will draw media and celebrity participation, gathering crowds on Market Street and in Justin Herman Plaza for two days.  The event and lead up events (two launch nights and a VIP reception) are a great opportunity to push your limits, network with public figures and to stand for a cause that directly impacts youth-giving them grit, determination, resilience to be successful in school, at home, and in life.
