The B.S. in Outdoor Education combines elements of both adventure education and the environmental education into one unique program of study. It offers a strong emphasis in ecology, outdoor skills, and leadership training.

Students will learn to teach

• outdoor skills
• team building
• leadership
• and environmental awareness

in the context of a wilderness setting and biblical world view.

Through discussion-oriented classes and experience in the field, students will be able to design, implement and administer outdoor education programs that are safe, challenging, and enjoyable.

The Outdoor Education program is distinctively Christian in its orientation. Classes are conducted with frequent reference and application made to one's own personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
