The Boulder Outdoor Survival School is a survival school that is of the largest tradition in the world. It is ranked as being the oldest institution in that category. Larry Dean Olsen established the school in 1968. A wilderness program is what it initially offered. The institution initialized this program in order to bring physical and mental challenges to the programs participants.

It was in 1985 that the program was expanded when the school was administered by David Wescott,. The skills of Puebloan cultures were added into BOSS’ curriculum.

The philosophy of Boulder Outdoor Survival School is teaching its participants the techniques of survival without utilizing any form of technology. A field course is included in the survival training, for the purposes of instructing the participants to carry light items such as clothes on their back, a poncho, knife and other essential items. No sleeping bags or tents are carried by the students of the program. This not only teaches, but also encourages participants, to be part of the wilderness.

BOSS was incorporated in 1980 as a private institution in Boulder, Utah. Boulder, Colorado is home to its marketing office. The marketing office was opened by Josh Bernstein. He began as one of the programs apprentices. He then rose in ranking and became a member of staff. He then returned to become a Marketing Administrative Director of the institution in 1994.
