Students who participated in Outward Bound programs in England and Wales during summer 2024 gathered for the association’s annual awards ceremony on December 2 at the Yacht Club de Monaco. The event brought together participants, their families, and association members to recognise the students’ achievements.

Prince Albert II, patron of Outward Bound Monaco, presented diplomas to the 12 students and acknowledged their resilience in completing the challenging outdoor programs. The Prince was thanked for his continued support of the association.

Program focus and student achievements

Michael Peagram, an ambassador for Outward Bound Monaco, outlined the organisation’s mission during his opening remarks. He explained that Outward Bound aims to help young people recognise capabilities beyond their perceived limits through physical experiences in wilderness settings, taking participants outside their comfort zones.

The participants, ranging from 10 to 17-years-old, spent time away from phones and social media during their summer programs, engaging in activities designed to test personal limits while building new friendships.
