FA, SP, SU. This course introduces students to the essential knowledge and skills for competently enjoying various wilderness activities (i.e., backpacking, canoeing, and climbing). Students will apply their knowledge and skills through weekly practice and a weekend-long trip. Throughout the course students will explore the themes of adventure, self-sufficiency, stress management, and stewardship through a Christian faith lens. Exploring, developing, and living answers to these questions set students up to enjoy and care for God’s kingdom (i.e., the natural world, other people, and themselves) in new and deeper ways. A course fee for trip costs will be applied. Fee: $75.
