Outward Bound Singapore (OBS) is a centre of excellence for Outward Bound training, challenging young people to achieve their potential and become better citizens. OBS has received many awards for its work.

OBS has two centres: one on the island of Pulau Ubin; which is just off the north-eastern coast of Singapore and the other which is located on the east coast on mainland Singapore. It's Children (aged 10-14) and Family courses operate out of the Singapore centre and the Youth and Adult courses operate out of its centre on Pulau Ubin. OBS offers a wide range of courses lasting up to 21 days in duration and reach out to a broad spectrum of people. It runs one of the largest Outward Bound operations worldwide on a per centre basis with an annual throughput of about 20,000 participants and 90,000 training man-days.

In 1993, OBS created the Overseas Youth Programmes which provide Singapore youths with inter-cultural outdoor challenge adventures at other overseas Outward Bound centres. Each year, about 500 youths take part in these courses held in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Malaysia, Brunei and South Korea. The Overseas Youth Programme received recognition from Outward Bound International when it was presented with the inaugural Innovative Programming Award in the year 2001.
