ABOUT US

Outward Bound Netherlands is a non-profit educational organisation that uses the outdoors to build young people’s character, resilience and wellbeing. Our courses take young people on a self-discovery journey, impelling them to undertake challenging outdoor adventures that require great personal effort and commitment. In doing so, Outward Bound allows young people to develop valuable personal, social and emotional skills for education, work and life.

COURSES FOR YOUTH

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE?

We believe that challenging outdoor experiences, facilitated by trained professionals in a safe and supportive environment, can help young people discover and apply their character strengths and develop skills for life.

Outward Bound Netherlands Trainers

OUR PEOPLE

Our trainers are dual qualified, both with the hard technical skills to take people safely into the outdoors, and as expert learning facilitators.
Outward Bound Netherlands Reflection

OUR PROCESS

Our experiential learning methodology, combined with appropriate theory makes the learning active and the analogy with life obvious.

OUR ENVIRONMENT

Real adventures in the natural environment are ideal for people to see real, immediate consequences to their actions.

There is more in us than we know if we could be made to see it; perhaps, for the rest of our lives we will be unwilling to settle for less
