The Classic works because it takes you through a carefully planned process – it focuses on both the technical skills you need to push yourself in the outdoors, and the personal skills you need to succeed. At the start you'll be building up your skills, and by week three you’ll be planning a multi-day journey for you and your group, camping deep in the mountains each night. There's also time to relax and soak up the social atmosphere, as you experience the outdoors with new friends. If you're looking for a unique adventure, activities and the chance to further develop your personal skills, the Outward Bound Classic is the ideal choice.
