Claire attended Outward Bound
The Sean Dickey Young Leaders Trust recently provided me with funding which enabled me to attend a Mind Body Soul course at Outward Bound. This course was a 21-day course starting on April 7th to April 27th 2024 and ran through the recent school holidays.
Personally, I would say Outward Bound is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Whilst being there for 21 days, we did various outdoor activities which pushed us mentally and physically. This included things like coasteering, sailing at sea, spending 2 nights alone solo and tramping through the bush. The skills and knowledge I have gained are very valuable now that I have returned home and I can reflect on this incredible experience.
I think one of the biggest things I got out of attending this course was to just believe in myself and my ability to do anything. I really tried to focus on extending my confidence to be able to show leadership amongst others which I think I was successful in doing so.
Without the help from the Sean Dickey Young Leaders Trust my journey at Outward Bound may not have been possible. I am truly grateful for their generosity in helping fund my experience and their aspirations to create experiences possible for others.
Sincerely, Claire Mercep
