What is "Exploring Life Skills"?
An Outbound Course for Teenagers
In addition to academics, teenagers when exposed to “Life skills” development activities, become more competent to face challenges in their life as they grow and move into early adulthood.
Reading and learning about life skills in the classroom creates awareness but exploring and experimenting with them in real-life situations makes learning much deeper and meaningful and stays with them forever.
The experiential learning platform offered by Outward Bound using the unfamiliar and challenging environment while outdoors is an excellent opportunity for teenagers to explore the life skills for a better future.
For Whom?
Teenagers: 13 to 19 Years.
