INTRODUCTION
OUTWARD BOUND TRANING:- Outward Bound (OB) is an international, non-profit, independent,
outdoor education organization. Outward Bound programs aim to foster the personal growth and social skills of participants by using challenging expeditions in the outdoors. Outward Bound has evolved into an organization which teaches interpersonal skills, wilderness survival skills, and leadership skills through courses ranging from one week to one semester to people of all ages

Some Organizations That Provides Outward Bound Training In India
Kalypso Adventures:- During the Kalypso Experiential Training Programme , the participants live in
well maintained tents, trek hills, camp out overnight, build rafts to cross rivers and participate in a wide array of fun and adventure based activities and games. An ideal programme is a 2 nights / 3 days programme which can suitably encompass adequate activities. These activities involve strong Team Building, effective Communication and a range of important skills required of Leaders, Managers and Team Members. Our camps are situated in salubrious climes ideal for training, deep reflection and adventure.

ACTIVITIES Raft Building. Can we make a raft with bamboos and drums and actually
cross a river using the raft? The participants, formed in different teams, are asked to design, build and operate a raft with limited resources which are available. The market forces of supply, demand and prices are built into the scenario. The activity focuses on brain storming, idea generation, identification of strengths of individual team members, leadership, managerial skill, communication and strong team cohesion.
Spider Web. Imagine getting through few ropes tied like a spider’s web. The challenge in this activity is not really the physical strength, but raising the team to an extraordinary level of trust, planning, communication and coordination.
River Crossing. Crossing a river by monkey crawling on a rope tied above it
may sound a daunting task, even with the proper gear. But at the Kalypso Camp, all individuals, irrespective of their physical fitness or gender are able to do it with ease due to the enthusiasm, determination and the bonding achieved by the team.
Catapult. Make a free standing structure and launch a ball 25 metres.
Innovation and optimizing the strengths of the team are the key to achieving this task.
