: Educational???  Maybe not.  Check your spelling.
: "Organisation" is spelled "organization".

First of all, I'd like to say that it's in very poor taste to post flames
based on spelling, particularly when there's only one in the entire text of
the post.  Typos happen, mispellings happen, it's part of living
in a text based society. 
Second, it's not educational in the go-to-school sense. The goals of the
Outward Bound Program are to provide good group and communication skills
in addition to mountain climbing, rafting, and overall survival skills,
at least that's what I got out of the program. You're put in situations
where your life very well may be in danger, you learn to depend on each
other's knowledge and skills and in doing so learn a lot about your 
environment and how you adjust to things. Never once during my entire 
three week mountain climbing course were we taught how to spell organization.

: Maybe they spell it this way in Canada...?  So why are they
: posting to az.general?

Because Outward Bound is a world-wide organization and does indeed offer
courses (through Colorado Outward Bound School) in Arizona.

: I don't think I need any educating from these bozos.

Maybe not, but you're certainly in need of further educations, particularly
in the area of manners.

"Graduated" from Outward Bound's 21 day mountain climbing course for 14 to
16 year olds last year.  Hoping to go on the 78 day Sierra Grand Tour next
summer. :)
