WHO IS OUTWARD BOUND?

Outward Bound is a non-profit organisation committed to helping people unlock their full potential through outdoor adventure and challenge. We believe in experiential learning (learning through doing) – where students take ownership of their journey, whether leading an expedition or navigating a team through a sailing challenge.

Our courses are designed to build essential life skills and attitudes that go far beyond the outdoors. The lessons learned here are relevant in every part of life – at work, school, at home – and they stick with you for life. We’re more than an adventure. We’re about empowering people to grow, face challenges, and create lasting change within themselves and their communities.
