On Monday 11 December, 30 students from the Cote d’Azur who participated this summer in Outward Bound programmes in Ullswater (the English Lake District) and Aberdovey (North Wales) were reunited for the prestigious Outward Bound Monaco annual awards ceremony in the beautiful location of the Yacht Club de Monaco.
Surrounded by friends, patrons and members of Outward Bound Monaco and their parents, the proud students received their diplomas from the Patron of Outward Bound Monaco, S.A.S. le Prince Albert II, who praised their courage and resourcefulness in the face of the challenges that an Outward Bound programme offers.
Michael Peagram, President of Outward Bound Monaco commented, “Our Awards evening is always a delight. The obvious enthusiasm and shining faces of the young people who completed the OB courses in the summer confirms again the contribution of the experience to their foundation for future life. We are hugely privileged that our Patron S.A.S. Prince Albert finds the time to meet them and present their certificates. “
The evening was full of pride and excitement for the students, aged 12 to 17 years old, who gave time, energy and passion this summer to try something which pushed back their personal barriers and rewarded them with the sense of achievement at overcoming new challenges, as well as having great fun!
Student Max Botwright, aged 15, reporting on his Outward Bound experience, said "I have really enjoyed taking part in two Outward Bound courses and was fortunate to have been selected to represent the Association in the recent Princes' Cup rowing race.
Through activities such as hiking, camping, rafting, rock climbing and rowing, Outward Bound has enabled me to push myself further and to accomplish tasks I didn’t think I could. Many of the activities have required my teamwork with other teenagers, who I had only recently met, and I’ve made many lifelong friends along the way."

We are all better than we know. If only we can be brought to realise this,
we may never be prepared to settle for anything less."
