Description

Recent research, as well as historical precedent, has demonstrated the vital role kinesthetic learning and activities play in spiritual development and in creating cohesive communities. This course integrates a Lutheran practical theological frame with brain development studies and experiential education models, providing a theological theoretical framework for adventure education. In addition, students will explore the unique character of a Christian hermeneutic for adventure leadership and group facilitation as it relates to faith development. As part of the course, students participate in a low and high elements ropes course experience.
