Our Mission

We enable our member Schools to be more effective and more resilient and we promote and protect the Outward Bound name and trademark. 

OUR Core VALUES

1  //  Adventurous Learning

A belief in the power and intensity of learning through adventure in the outdoors – as a means of bringing out the best in people.

2  //  Transformational Change

A deep appreciation of the balance between risk, reward and responsibility. We facilitate authentic learning through purposeful and intense experiences with real consequences and powerful, positive and memorable outcomes.

3  //  Respect and Compassion

Our Schools aim to stretch people both physically and mentally. In doing so they act with care, concern and generosity towards people and the natural environment.

Inspirational Quote of the Day
Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgement will be surer, since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgement. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller, and more of it can be taken in at a glance, and a lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seen.- Leonardo da Vinci
