Outward Bound bursaries and the impact of residential courses
Outward Bound offer a series of bursaries – and indeed around half of the people who go on Outward Bound courses get some help towards the fees.
The benefits to young people’s skills, their personal development and their motivations are…
They achieve beyond their expectations.
(This helps to improve their attitude towards learning, their motivation, and to raise their aspirations).
They understand themselves better, particularly their skills and abilities.
(This boosts their confidence, self-belief and self-worth.)
They develop better relationships with others.
(This supports the development of team skills and a positive attitude towards school.)
They develop a sense of social responsibility.
They feel empowered to lead others and to make a contribution to society.
