The Outward Bound Trust is the UK's leading provider of authentic outdoor learning , adventures and personal development for young people (11-24yr olds). We have four centres across the UK in Snowdonia (Wales), The Lake Distrcit (England) and The Highlands (Scotland).

Kayaking on the Dovey estuary, climbing Ben Nevis, camping overnight in the Lake District, sailing on Lake Ullswater or journeying across the Highlands by canoe and on foot, are just some of the challenging activities and real adventures that young people will take part in.
