Is this Adventure for me?

For 10-12 year olds who already have some outdoors experience, like being part of Scouts or Guides (or been to Outward Bound before) and would like to up their level of adventure.

All Outward Bound Adventures have some things in common.

You’ll enjoy authentic outdoor activities in National Parks and wild places, guided by highly-qualified instructors.

It will be a path of discovery. A chance to have fun, be curious and make new friends. Before you know it, you’ll be stepping outside your comfort zone and discovering your talents.

Your confidence will grow and you'll learn how to believe in yourself.

RIDGE

Spend 7 days (6 nights) away from home, staying at one of our residential centres in an awe-inspiring location. As part of your adventure, you'll journey to an overnight wild camp, making your way on foot, water or both, and spend an unforgettable night out in the wild.

A Ridge Adventure is more challenging than Basecamp, so you're likely to already have outdoors experience, such as being part of Scouts or Guides, or been to Outward Bound before. But with more challenge, comes more fun and more discovery.

You will learn what you are really capable of by tackling something new and different. Making the most of the natural environment, you'll stretch yourself further outside of your comfort zone with a range of challenging outdoor activities in some amazing locations.

Whatever happens, you'll have a memorable week exploring the great outdoors. The ultimate digital detox away from screens and the distractions of life. You'll make friends for life and grow the skills and strategies you can use in the outside world, like; motivation, independence and personal responsibility. You'll even build workplace skills that stand out on your CV, ready for the future.

What you'll be doing

No two Outward Bound adventures are the same. Your group's appetite for adventure will shape what you do each day.

With activities like gorge scrambling, rock climbing, cutter sailing and canoeing you'll make the most of nature's playground.

You will have a dedicated instructor the whole time. They will be there for you and offering encouragement when you need it most and help if things get tough. There will also be a dedicated house parent to look after your group in the evenings.

A highlight will be your overnight expedition, where you'll spend the day journeying to your wild camp and then spend the night under the stars.

So, whilst we can't tell you exactly what you'll be doing, but we guarantee you will have fun and be challenged.

Do It!

I had an amazing time at Loch Eil! I tried every adventure that I could as I didn't want to miss out or regret not having tried later. The team spirit, camaraderie and encouragement from everyone including the coaches was amazing. You'll make friends, have fun and surprise yourself.
