DISCOVERY MASTERS
Discovery Masters is the short and sharp Outward Bound experience for ages 25+. Take this unique opportunity to step away from work, technology and family commitments, and work on discovering yourself and your values.
It's perfect for those who are looking to shake life up, but are short on time. The Discovery Masters course gives you the momentum to make real change in your everyday life. If you've reached a turning point in life, this is your chance to step out of your routine and invest in yourself.
PROGRAMME
This compact course is high energy with little downtime but still perfectly balanced for those looking for physical challenge and seeking a reflective experience.
Like a condensed version of our 21 day course, Discovery Masters will challenge any self imposed limitations of your capabilities through a series of outdoor and personal reflection challenges. Over the eight day programme, you'll take on bush, water and height activities, utilising the bush, mountains and waterways of the Marlborough Sounds.

No, you don't need to have any experience of outdoor activities or spending time outdoors.
You simply need to be willing to give the activities a go. The more you get involved, the more you will get out of your course.
Outward Bound is your opportunity to simply be yourself, without the expectations of people who know you. For this reason, we don't allow you to attend a course with friends or people you know.
You can attend at the same time as someone you know, however, we will put you in different groups (where available).
Our Leaps & Bounds and Custom Design courses are the exception to this rule.
