Bachelor of Science in Outdoor Leadership

The purpose of the Outdoor Leadership program is to develop students who will facilitate outdoor experiences to grow people in Christ-likeness, for the sake of others, to the glory of God. The minor is not about recreation; it is about re-creation. It is not about survival skills; it is about thrival skills. There isn't a more beautiful place in the world than Colorado; CCU's Outdoor Leadership program takes C.L.A.S.S. outside to pursue these goals: Character formation, Leadership development, Authentic Community, Skill acquisition, Spiritual transformation

Outdoor Leadership at CCU

Terrain and setting matter to God. He has always used outdoor settings to test people, expose unbelief, birth a vision, develop leaders, and reveal Himself. It was on mountains that God gave the law to Moses, Jesus gave the Great Commission, and the Apostle John received his vision of the New Jerusalem. The biblical and theological basis for outdoor leadership will motivate and mobilize you to powerfully share your outdoor passions with others. Choose from a wide variety of outdoor skills courses that integrate faith while using the experiential learning process that occurs outdoors.

You pay the same tuition rate whether you take 12 or 18 credit hours. So even if you are not interested in earning the entire major or minor, why not round out your education by taking a few outdoor leadership courses and learn in God's great outdoors? Come to Colorado, and elevate your life!
