"There is more in you". The best quote and motivational saying I will take away from the 21 days I was on Outward Bound. Amazing experience, great people from around NZ and some from across the globe.

I am 65 years old and went on an Outward Bound course when I was 21. Outward Bound gave me experiences and lessons that I have continually applied to my life. Sailing in the Cutter during a storm in the Sounds, our group getting lost in the bush and having to stay another night, being dropped off for three nights in the bush and going from terribly unfit to fighting fit over the three plus weeks I was there all added to the confidence I have in my physical and mental stamina to never give up.

Very well run course, great instructors push you far enough out of your comfort zone for self discovery. Recommend the three weeks over shorter courses. Heaps of scholarships available if you know where to look.

Great way too experience NZ's nature, meet others who are on the same journey to discover, challenge and overcome the physical and mental barriers. The whole experience was worth the two weeks!
