STORIES

Earlier this year, we shared with you - Outward Bound alum and supporter - John Gluckman’s amazing life story. Since then, John has been busy taking part in running events in the World Masters Games in Taipei and summiting mountain peaks in between races!

An important part of an Outward Bound experience is being fully present and connecting with the people around you and the nature that surrounds you and to do that, we ask students to hand over their devices so they can live in the moment.

For John Gluckman, life has always been about pushing boundaries—both physical and personal. His journey began in 1968 with a 23-day Outward Bound course at Anakiwa.

New Zealand is home to some of the world’s most breathtaking day hikes. We’ve rounded up some of the best hikes across the North Island and South Island, with options for every fitness level.

Sue Richards realised that she wanted more from life – not just things to fill it with, but things with more meaning. In November 2022, Sue stumbled upon an Outward Bound Facebook post and quickly found herself booking a spot on Discovery Low Impact.

Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu – National Volunteer Week honours the collective energies and mana of volunteers in Aotearoa. This week, we're excited to shine the spotlight on one of our long-serving volunteers, Craig Jones.
