Outward Bound

Common card · No. 359241

Outward Bound is an international network of outdoor education organisations that provide experiential learning programs for personal and social development through small-group adventure-based experiences such as wilderness expeditions and challenging outdoor activities. It was founded in the United Kingdom in 1941 by Lawrence Holt and educator Kurt Hahn. The name Outward Bound was derived from the nautical term for a ship leaving safe harbour for the open sea. The network is coordinated by Outward Bound International, a non-profit membership and licensing organisation. Organisations licensed by Outward Bound International, called schools, now operate in 33 countries and have established 36 schools. These organisations serve over 150,000 participants each year.
