The Benefits for Participants
Experiencing the outdoors in an immersive, hands-on way helps young people connect with nature, acquire vital social-emotional skills, and develop a deep sense of self. In an increasingly digital and fast-paced world, getting out there and learning in nature is a life-changing opportunity for youth to disconnect from screens, step out of their comfort zone, and embark on a path of personal growth and discovery that is simply not possible online or in a regular classroom.
Combined with the healing power of connecting with nature, Outward Bound’s exclusive pedagogy, developed by qualified educators and taught by experienced instructors with a passion for outdoor adventure, offers youth unparalleled benefits.
