Episode 154: Charles Luckmann - COBWS - The Canadian Outward Bound Wilderness School

Charles “Chuck” Luckmann purchased his first canoe for $75 at eleven years of age, which launched a passion for rivers that has never waned. During a forty-five-year career in education, he taught at nine schools in four countries, including COBWS from 1979–1982, where he spent summers at Homeplace and winters in the Toronto office. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Luckmann describes the unusual history of the Canadian Outward Bound Wilderness School (COBWS), the adventurous and challenging offerings at the school, and the culmination of a remarkable collection of more than 50 eclectic essays that would become Carry The Flame. In this detailed memoir, former staff, administrators, board members, and students articulate the distinctive, unique spirit of the school and its lasting impact on their lives to this day.
