Outdoor Leadership Undergraduate Program Overview

Outdoor Ministries Concentration

Students who are excited about using Creation to share the Creator find that the Outdoor Ministry major prepares them for leadership positions in such venues as Christian youth ministry, international missions, year-round camping ministry/adventure programming, summer camp directorship, and as dormitory deans. Religion courses complement the Outdoor Leadership core to ground students in a knowledge of the Bible, belief systems, witnessing and leadership skills.
