Adventure Recreation Programming
The Certificate in Adventure-Based Programming is designed for students pursuing a professional interest in perceived risk and wilderness activities within settings such as youth organizations, church groups, travel and tourism, and schools and colleges. Adventure education will be explored through courses using group initiative and perceived risk activities to foster personal development. The certificate will center on preparing students to facilitate ropes courses, climbing walls, mobile initiative courses, and natural resource-based pursuits such as rock climbing, backpacking, cross-country skiing, and other outdoor activities.
Students will learn specific sequencing, processing, and leadership techniques for adventure education. They will gain insight into their own strengths and weaknesses related to interaction with on-going psychodynamic processes and apply these techniques to diverse groups and special populations. All coursework to be applied to this certificate must be completed with a minimum grade of C to be counted.
Admission to the program requires the consent of the program faculty.
