Spring Adventure 2026.

Outward Bound is a truly authentic adventure.

Instead of notifications, you’ll be listening to wind, birds and your own footsteps. 📵🌲 👉 Who it’s for: young people aged 10–17 from Croatia and Croatian‑speaking participants from abroad (grouped into younger and older groups). 👉 How to apply: fill in the online application form (organiser’s link).
