The courses are designed to encourage teamwork and build self-confidence.
Where is it based?
There are five Outward Bound centres. They are based in the Lake District, Scotland and Wales. The head office is in Penrith, but fundraising is co-ordinated from London. There are also 22 regional associations run by volunteers, which help raise funds and send young people on courses.
