Choosing a Course

Choosing an Outward Bound Course can be one of the most powerful decisions in your life. Here's what some students have said about their courses:

"When I started this course I wanted to come away a totally different person, instead, I discovered that I love the person that I already am"--Outward Bound New Zealand Participant

"At the age of 36, I was a city mouse that had never been in a tent or a canoe, let alone on a rock face. I dared myself to do an O.B. wilderness trip - just because the idea of it totally terrified me! And although I know it sounds corny - I have to say it: Outward Bound changed my life. It wasn't an easy transition - facing my physical and emotional limits was a really big deal for me. But what I learned through Outward Bound was that most of those limits were self-imposed, and that courage was a muscle that I could develop. I learned a lot of things from my O.B. experience and those insights have never evaporated with time. The thrilling journey that I began on an Outward Bound trail so many years ago continues, each and every day."
Christina Pochmursky, Journalist/Filmmaker, Outward Bound Canada Participant

"It gave me courage to go back and tackle all the challenges that I have in life, now I am prepared to take any challenge by force in order to push my limits. I have really discovered that I have the potential. I hope that you will be happy to hear that I used this opportunity in a positive manner. My promise to you is that I am going to use the experience that I have to make an impact to other people."
Neo Moephudi, Outward Bound South Africa Participant

"On Outward Bound, I learned so much about nature, people and the skills needed to interact with both. I have seen how important it is to take care of the Earth. The woods are a place to escape, to be free, to clear one's mind...I wouldn't give this experience back for anything. Now my course is ending. I wish I could stay longer. This experience has made me even more aware of how much I don't know, and how much is still out there to learn."
Amber Rose Cosentino, North Carolina Outward Bound School Participant

This was really the right setting to get an answer on questions (every) one has been interested in for quite a long time: "How am I perceived?" and "What do people think of me?" in a working environment/ team setting. Answers to these questions are already making me more self-confident which will make me perform better.
