About Outward Bound
Outward Bound offers exhilarating personal development courses that take people into new territories, giving them the opportunity to test themselves, inspire each other and come back with a new outlook on life and the world.
Outward Bound is firmly established at the forefront of personal development and experiential outdoor education. Since 1956, more than 250,000 people have participated in one of our programs! Being part of the international Outward Bound community means we have close ties with the many Outward Bound schools operating around the world.
Our desire is to assist you in your journey of self-discovery. We offer our programs as tools to help you develop your potential and achieve greatness in your life. The more we understand ourselves, the more we can be of service. Join us, and discover that there is more in you than you think.
Alice Springs Students Go Outward Bound
Twelve Alice Springs students have just returned from their 2,000 kilometre journey to National Base for an eight day Outward Bound adventure. This program was a partnership between Outward Bound and Alice Springs Partnerships for Success and was designed to provide high quality outdoor educational experiences to those in indigenous communities.
The students were chosen for their positive attitudes and have exhibited an academic potential. Last year the Partnerships for Success Program sent the students on a Tall Ship experience off the South Australian Coast, whereas this year Outward Bound was the chosen organisation to work with Partnerships for Success.National Aspiring Leaders Summit Delegates Announced Soon
