How do I complete my Participant Information form?

We've set up this guide to help: Completing your Participant Information form

Can I pay with childcare vouchers?

Yes, we can accept childcare vouchers as payment for any of our summer adventures at our Ullswater and Howtown centres, which are registered with OFSTED’s Voluntary Childcare Register. However, we can only accept the vouchers for the remaining balance after the £150 deposit has been paid.

Can I do my DofE Award with Outward Bound?

Some sections of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme can be completed as part of your Outward Bound course. For more info check out our DofE Award page.

What will I get out of the Outward Bound course?

The answer to this is simple, you will get out of it what you put in! It might sound silly, but it’s true! The course will give you lots of opportunities to push yourself out of your comfort zone, to try new things you didn’t think you weren’t capable of and to work together with others you might not have met before. Only if you take every one of these opportunities and try your hardest throughout the course will you discover something new about yourself and learn some great new skills for the future.

How much is the deposit for a Summer Adventure?

If you book your 2024 adventure by 30 September 2023, you only need to pay a low deposit of £50. A further payment of £100 will be required by 31 December 2023 to secure your place. After 30 September, the deposit will be £150.

Are all Outward Bound instructors qualified?

Yes. Your instructor, who will be with you from start to finish, will be fully qualified. In fact, Outward Bound instructors are some of the most qualified in the industry. For more info see our instructors and safety page.

What payment methods do you accept online?

We accept Visa or MasterCard. Unfortunately we can not accept American Express (Amex).
