Wilderness

This course has been developed to train individuals in the effective use of the wilderness environment and its dynamic as a tool for introducing others to a growing, intimate relationship with their God. While the focus is on the wilderness laboratory, this is a leadership course. The skills that are introduced are highly transferable into any environment. Our goal is to help students to acquire tools that will help them increase their effectiveness in moving people toward God.

This course is a study of organizational leadership theory and practice as it relates to the development and facilitation of active learning environments. Emphasis will be on identifying and evaluating students' personalities and leadership styles, adapting and using leadership approaches, and exploring principles for moving individuals and organizations toward growth and development. The course content is designed to serve as a catalyst for applying leadership principles to the student's organizational environment.
