The camp really helped me to find myself and my limits. It really was a huge challenge and so hard, but once you get used to it, it’s great! I’m so happy that I did it! I hope this camp will also help many other people. I made a lot of friends and I will never forget the great time I had with them! It was a great adventure and I’m glad that I had the chance to do it! Thanks for everything!

Une expérience formidable, qui vous donne de la confiance-en-soi. Une aventure coupée du monde, avec les expéditions et les autres activités en plein-air. Ainsi que sur le plan social, être durant 3 semaines au sein d’un groupe permet d’ouvrir et de tisser les liens durables. Le challenge a été surtout mental, car le froid et la pluie sont très souvent de la partie et même pendant les expéditions.

Une expérience intéressante pour l’avenir, qui construit une confiance en soi. Cette aventure ouvre des opportunités, une nouvelle vision de nous. Le fait de se surpasser dans des épreuves inconnues, nous fait prendre confiance en soi. J’ai eu la chance de rencontrer d’autres personnes, et d’autres nationalités. Grâce à cette expérience j’ai pu découvrir d’autres cultures, d’autres mentalités très enrichissantes pour l’avenir. Pendant ce séjour j’ai pu améliorer mon anglais. Une expérience unique, belle, heureuse, à faire à tout prix.

Outward Bound made me stronger and tougher mentally and physically. I’ve learned to achieve my aims completely when thinking it would be impossible at first. I’ve learned and what I think will help me in the future is team spirit. It has been a very good experience and unforgettable.

Outward Bound was a very good experience for me. I enjoyed meeting new people, and having new experiences. It greatly improved my self confidence, and I am more sure of what I can and can’t do.

I liked it but it was difficult. This good experience made me a stronger mind, and even physically. Outward Bound experience will be useful in my future. This adventure was the best I’ve ever done, I’ll remember it all my life.

I’ve already done it last year, but I wanted to do it again because we were having so much fun, when you are in the course it can be boring sometimes when you have to walk for four hours through the rain but it’s amazing to see your team helping you every time and then when you come back home you miss that so much even the jogging. Fortunately, instructors are taking pictures, therefore when you look at them you have good memories. This course is good because I met new friends and I learnt more about team workers. I think every young person (boys and girls) should do it at least once in their life.

It was a great experience. I’ve really enjoyed it, it was difficult but I love to do sport and physical effort so I liked it. This experience permitted me to overcome my fear of heights and to push myself. I’ve met some nice people and I will remember it all my life.

I found the course experience both great fun and also useful for the future (either for work or if the world ends). I went there to gain confidence and motivation and I left with all that, I now try to run every day and at school I’ve started off well with good marks in lessons I’m crap in so I’ve gained everything I came for.

It was difficult, but I kept an excellent idea and an excellent memory about my adventure during these three weeks. With Outward Bound, I could meet new people from England, Scotland, Holland and improve my English language. Moreover, I could improve my mind during the expedition, and kept in mind that I have to do it during all the walk. Sometimes when the others of my team were tired, I attempted to try to help them. At the end, I was very tired and didn’t like to come back but after I have realized that it was a wonderful experience and I will never forget my 3 weeks in Ullswater.

My Outward Bound experience
During the three weeks of the Outward Bound Classic course, I have accomplished much physically by climbing, hiking, swimming and sailing through the splendid and breathtaking Mountains of the Lake District. Through these I have discovered unsuspected strengths and realized I could manage extreme conditions with the help of a team. My experience with the Outward Bound was stimulating and unique in his incredible style of teaching. I have also greatly increased my precision and the capacity of trusting others throughout team work. Outward Bound made me conscious of my full potential which is worth one thousand treasures because one can conquer thousands of men in a battle, but he who conquers himself is the greatest of all conquerors.
