Outward Bound: WW2 torpedo survival camp going strong 80 years on

Mr Crisp said the camp was conceived by Kurt Hahn, a German man who had been forced to flee Hitler’s Germany.

“He was backed with funds from Liverpool businessman Lawrence Holt, along with the Blue Funnel Line shipping company,” said Mr Crisp.

He said that, while some of Mr Hahn’s founding principles remain, today Outward Bound has diversified a great deal.

“Even during the War the courses were broader than just survival – the aim was to improve their life skills all-round.

“Whilst there’s no longer a military ethos, we hold true to the values of individual development, and pushing yourself and your friends.”
