“Outward Bound saved me from living a life in fear. It has boosted my confidence to heights once thought impossible. This course has been life-changing by definition. Thank you so much for this opportunity.”

Aperahama (Classic Course Alumni)

“This experience is one of the biggest life changing breakthroughs I've had. I've learned so much about myself and the power I hold within. I will remember this for the rest of my life and recommend anyone to give it a try.”

Brooklyn (Discovery Course, 2024)

"This has been an incredible experience. I expected this to just be an outdoorsy course. It was so much more than that. It was hard but it was incredibly meaningful and I think everyone should experience it in their lifetime. I feel a lot more clear-headed now, and I am ready to set goals for myself. I have achieved things I never would've achieved otherwise and I feel extremely lucky.”

Stephanie (Masters Course Alumni, 2024)

"I cannot express how much this course has done for me; it has helped me grow mentally and most of all physically. It has given me the self-motivation to reach for higher goals and the will to look after my physical health a lot more than I did before this course."

Taipua (Mind Body Soul Course, 2024)

"This experience has profoundly impacted my personal growth, resilience, and sense of adventure. The outdoor challenges, coupled with the supportive environment, have instilled in me a deeper understanding of perseverance and determination, lessons that will continue to guide me in both my personal life and career. This experience also allowed me to meet people who on day one, were complete strangers, but by day 21 were family and now lifelong friends."

Ella (Classic Course, 2024)

"I was just interested in the outdoors and didn’t think the course would affect me in any dramatic way. Well, turns out I was wrong! Looking back now I realise it was possibly the most pivotal event for me that has led to the role I am in today and the life I live. "

Kimberely (Classic Course Alumni)

"It’s challenging to find the opportunities and language to relate to a teenager. Outward Bound provided my daughter and I with a ‘gift’ of experience and stories that we now share. I not only created a stronger connection with Emma but also found the incentive to keep pushing hard for the things that matter in my life."

Mike and Emma (Leaps and Bounds Course Alumni)

“I have learned so much about myself, my values, and what I'm capable of. I truly don't think I would've learned these lessons without this course and this group of people that I've had the privilege of spending the last week with. I've done so many things on this course that I never would've thought I was capable of doing before, but with the right support, encouragement, and self-belief I was able to achieve so much.”

Selena (Discovery Course, 2024)
