OUTDOORS CLUB Based on the thinking of the Outward Bound Schools of America. Ryan's Outdoor Club was established on the principle that the individual develops self-confidence, concern for others, and self-awareness when confronted by challenging. shared experiences involving adventure in the outdoors. Some of the means by which the Outdoor Club tries to help its members achieve these goals are: hiking, climbing. developing survival techniques, map and compass reading skills, as well as Red Cross training. Members are helped along each step of the way by the club's moderators. Mr. Tori. Mr. Reardon and Mr. Trainer. Mr Carl Tori. Mr. Donald Reardon.
