    I’d like to send my son (13 years old) to the OBS training program. Should he enrol in the Children’s or Youth’s program? Please advise.

    Regards,
    Mdm. Sew

    Mdm Sew, We would recommend you to register your son for the Children Course “CAC”. Even though there appear to be not much difference between a 13 & a 14 years old in the physical form, there is a clear difference in their mental make-up;from our experience. The Youth group will be from 14 years to 17 years old so it would be better for your son to be together in the earlier group so that he will not feel left behind.
    Please contact admin@outwardbound.my for registration. Thank you

    Hi I am interested in putting my 2 kids( 15, 16) in your YCC but notice you do not have one for July?
    Will there be anything else they can do in July?

  14. afs says:

    Mrs Baker, very sorry we do not have any public courses for 15-16 years old in July. Please come in November & December. Thank you.

  15. Mrs NMadasamy says:

    I’m looking for program for my 11 yrs old daughter. Its sad that you only cater for specific group. We’re from the international school and the summer holidays begans only end of may till july. Any suggestions?

  16. afs says:

    Mrs NMandasamy,
    Sorry we do not have any public courses for 11 yrs old from now till end of July. As you know we have children & youth programmes for November & December because we cater mainly for Malaysian schools.
    Anyway, you can always suggest to the International School where your daughter is; for them to consider doing a Children/Youth Adventure Course at the Outward Bound Malaysia. Maybe you are not aware that a few International Schools in Kuala Lumpur & Penang are sending their pupils for a tailor-made OBM programme as part of their school extra-curricula activity.
    We will be ever willing to do a presentation to the school concerned.
    Please contact me at afs@outwardbound.my
    Thank you very much for your comments.

  17. I need to arrange a teambuilding course for my office next year. But we are only allowed to conduct courses from Friday – Sunday. Can you suggest suitable activities that suit ppl in the range of 20s – 50s years old? Whaling perhaps? How much does it cost? We have a very limited budget. Thanks.

  18. afs says:

    Nurul, thank you very much for supporting us. In fact there are quite a few corporations doing a similar programme as what you indicated.

    Please contact me (Ahmad Fadzil) direct at afs@outwardbound.my
