A TASTE OF THE WILD

FREE TASTER COURSE

Join us at one of our taster courses. Each offers an immersive experience of Outward Bound with a focus on a topical theme:

These events are for head and deputy head teachers, educational professionals, apprenticeship providers, and employers who would like to learn first-hand:

  • How outdoor learning can build resilience, confidence and self-belief in young people
  • How other schools, employers and experts are using the outdoors to amplify learning
  • How an Outward Bound residential specifically uses the wilderness to develop the skills needed to thrive in school, at work and in life.
