Who Is This Course For?
Outward Bound is New Zealand’s leading organisation for helping people realise their full potential through outdoor challenges and adventure. The Outward Bound methodology is based on experiential learning—learning through doing. In practice, that means participants are responsible for the challenges they face.
To have a successful course:
Students are comfortable being away from home for 21 days.
Students are comfortable with being challenged mentally, physically, and emotionally.
Students understand and are aware of the growth opportunities available at Outward Bound.
Students are responsible and represent their school's values while at Outward Bound.
Students are able to return home and give back to their school and wider community after their time at Outward Bound.
