We're pleased to announce the dates for our alumni centre events in 2020.

COVID-19 Update: due to the ongoing pandemic we have taken the decision to postpone all our 2020 Alumni 24 Events until 2021.

We invite you and your guests to revisit the Outward Bound centre you attended for 24 hours, to re-live and reflect on some formative memories.

This time, as a valued member of our alumni community, you will have the chance to take part in some optional light activities or watch others complete a jog & dip. There will be time to enjoy the scenery, the mountains and the water. You'll also have a special behind the scenes tour of the centre to see how it runs today, meet the centre team and watch a current group in action.

24 hours at your centre

We invite you to join your contemporaries and our staff at one of our special events this year. We keep these events to a maximum of 24 attendees* to create a warm, inclusive and nostalgic space. You will be able to look through archive material and view course reports (where available).

You'll also have time to reflect on your personal experience, whilst learning about the impact Outward Bound has on its participants today and how you can continue to be a part of the Outward Bound story and our plans for the future. We will eat together (the evening meal will be hosted by a special guest) and put you up in nice local accommodation (unless you'd prefer a tent!)
