One of NZ's most well-known and respected organisations, Outward Bound has been providing New Zealanders with life-changing courses since 1962. Activities on this course are designed to develop confidence and self-awareness, grow teamwork and communication skills, and enhance leadership abilities.

Click here for videos! James Moore, 4th year Masterlink plumbing, gasfitting & drainlaying apprentice and his host, Mike Gooch of Glennies Plumbing in Wellington talk about the impact of the Outward Bound course, personally and professionally.

"Challenges were presented without too much assistance from instructors, so we had to work as a team and figure it out. I've come away with so many lessons which I think I'll continue to look back on for years to come. I'm a better communicator and I think a better person."

James Moore, 2021 Outward Bound Scholarship participant

"I'm a much better person. More communicative. Much more confident and now know what I want to achieve in life. I have a clear direction of what I want to do."

Quintin Trott, 2020 Outward Bound Scholarship participant

"It pushes you - challenges and mental strength wise. It was physically demanding. Everyone had a turn at leadership which was good. I'm able to extend myself and am more confident."

Wade Williams, 2019 Outward Bound Scholarship participant
