Outward Bound is really something unforgettable. The things you learn, the people you meet and the skills you acquire are hard to forget. OB is awesome!Grga Cipek, 16
What will I learn in the program?
Besides experiencing true survival in nature, you will also learn how to cooperate with others, negotiate, adapt, persist when things get tough, take responsibility, and show empathy. In the daily evening circle, you will talk about the day's adventures and have the opportunity to express your opinion about everything you experienced.
Outward Bound is an intense and completely different experience that you will remember for a long time, and the realization that you can do much more than you think will empower you in your everyday life.

Info for parents
The program is designed to place participants outside their comfortable and predictable daily routine. In such an environment, they must face new, unfamiliar situations that encourage them to develop new skills and insights about themselves and their surroundings.
Our goal is to provide our young participants with an intensive experience and inspire them to be open to new experiences. We will help them to build self-confidence and a positive attitude towards facing challenging situations.
Hurry up and apply as soon as possible because spots are limited!
Testimonials
A mind broadened with experience can never be forced into its old frames anymore.Lucija Mlakar, 3.b
After all, I have realised how much one own’s cultural background, age and character can surprise, and to realize that it is all a constitutive part of every one of us…in the end makes us all equal.Ana Barišić
I liked to observe how our students are changing while being in new situations, how they help and support each other. I would like to see this approach implemented in regular school curriculum.Professor, Architectural Technical School Zagreb
Students are generally totally delighted, first of all with meeting new people with whom they became friends, so that immediately upon returning they formed a facebook group, and now regularly communicate.Professor
I would recommend the program precisely because of the number of skills we gained here, such as responsibility, self-awareness and teamwork, that we do not develop in our everyday life. What I liked the most was realising the importance of teamwork, and what are my abilities and fears. I learned in practice the meaning of the verb 'empower'The participant of the 8-day program
I would recommend this course to everyone, because it's such an aberration from everyday life that you have to get out of this experience as a changed person if you embrace all the challenges given. I would definitely describe myself now, after the training, as more in tuned with myself and who I actually am.The participant of the 8-day program
Climbing was the best part for me becausue I find it cool how you have to believe in others and in yourself. What I liked least was the fact that we did not stay long enough to see and try more things. I learned that we should help each other and have confidence in people around us.The participant of the 8-day program
I believe my social skills have significantly improved. I made new valuable friendships that still continue. By doing physical activity I gained muscle weight. I gained new skills - reading topographic maps and compass, which I could immediately try out on the field.Participant

... Thanks to this course he has developed some new skills, he became very confident when in nature. During the last years we haven't seen he has so much patience when achieving his goals ...Aleksandra Berberih Slana and Robert Berberih, parents of the participant
I believe that a lot more of young people should be included in the program during the compulsory school program and during weekends. At the time that lies ahead, the skills that youth gain through this program, will be a key factor for the understanding of life in reality, here and now.Božena Štokan, parent of the participant of the course
These programs have so far proved to be extremely useful for our children and we would like to take this opportunity to thank Outward Bound Croatia.Elvis Vickić, Head of Education at the Odgojni dom Mali Lošinj
