Program Mission:
Outdoor Leadership training is a step toward a lifestyle of adventure and learning. Through experiential learning, the Outdoor Leadership program at Columbia seeks to train people to their highest level of potential in Christian ministry, leadership, outdoor skills, and industry accreditation.
Set in the heart of the Fraser Valley, Columbia’s campus is perfectly located to provide access to the incredible opportunities for recreational adventures and experiences students require as they develop as outdoor professionals. During their time of study, students are moments away from world-class skiing/snowboarding, ski-touring, rock-climbing, mountaineering, sea kayaking, white water rafting and more.
At the center of the Outdoor Leadership program is experiential education. Experiential education, defined as "learning by doing, combined with reflection", is at the heart of the Outdoor Leadership program. Students will spend approximately fifty percenty of their studies engaged in modular skills training, field courses, and certification programs. This hands-on experience will ensure that graduates are well-prepared to excel in the outdoor tourism or adventure careers.
