19 Day Adventure 16-17 years

Your adventure will start with a bang and kick off with infamous Outward Bound jog and dip. This is exactly what it says it is – you will jump or run into the lake or sea.

After you’ve dried off, you’ll spend your first day getting to know your group and your instructor who will let you know what you can expect over the next 19 days.

It’s time to pack up your rucksack and get ready to embark on your adventure. You will journey out and spend your first night under the stars. Soak up the anticipation of what’s ahead and get to know your fellow adventurers.

The next few days will be like no other as you go deeper into the wild. You will take on invigorating outdoor experiences that push you and help to grow your independence skills, such as meeting canoes at the source of a river and paddling out to the sea, and then hiking back into the mountains on a continuous journey. Each day will end at a new campsite in the wild.

You and your teammates will have each other’s backs as you complete these challenges together. You are now also discovering what the UK wilderness really have to offer by discovering wild places on foot and water that aren’t easy to get to any other way.

As your journey continues, there’s no better time to embrace brand new challenges. You’ll push yourself that bit further and see what you can really do in the wild.

You will take on many peaks enroute, including some of the UK’s most famous mountains. Your instructor will use the next few days to set you new challenges, giving you the opportunity to practise your independence skills. And remember, this is Outward Bound so the next few days will continue to be packed with challenging outdoor activities.

You are now learning how to handle yourself out in the wild as you gain a new sense of independence. There’s no doubt you’ll spend the next few days making memories that will last a lifetime.

This is the final part of your expedition and this will challenge you the most! You will use your new skills to plan a self-led journey into the wild with just your friends for support. Your sense of personal responsibility will be tested as will your resilience skills but you’ll feel more confident and independent than ever before.

You’ll discover your problem-solving skills along the way and build trust with your friends – you will all understand the true value of how important it is to work together as team.
