Few studies have examined the long-term impact of outdoor adventure
education experiences or what influences various course components
have on long-term impact. Even less research of this kind has been
done in Asia. This is ironic considering the first outdoor
adventure education school (Outward Bound) in Asia was founded in
1955 in Malaysia before the establishment of Outward Bound in
Australia in 1956, America in 1961, New Zealand in 1962, and Canada
in 1969. The limited attention given to Asia is troubling;
especially since the two most populated countries in the world
(China and India) are located there. A representative sample of
participants who attended Outward Bound Singapore's Classic 21-Day
Challenge course between 1997 and 2005 were surveyed and
interviewed. Results indicate individuals still draw upon their
experience many years after the course and are able to discern from
which components they still draw lessons. This retrospective
analysis should be useful to individuals, educational entities,
businesses, and government organizations in Singapore and worldwide
that have an interest in developing human capital through outdoor
adventure education experiences.
