Outward Bound Germany

SAFETY FIRST

Certainly qualified programs & trainers

For all employees and the entire organization, the safety of our participants is the highest good. Both the physical and psychological safety of the participants is our top priority. For example, the safety standards of OUTWARD BOUND Germany for all companies are checked annually by internationally recognized experts and our experienced Safety Board. 
All our trainers work according to official safety manuals and tested standards of the outdoor industry. They are also specially trained to accompany different groups of participants and are able to respond individually to the processes that develop during a course or activity. Our multi-level security concept ensures continuous monitoring and compliance with our security guidelines

“The trainers are very patient, friendly and accommodating. Personally, I also really liked the facility and the activities on it. You could grow together as a group and learn social skills with the support of the trainers. Thank you!”
