Biblical Equipping for Excellence in Life and Service

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Calvary’s Outdoor Adventure Leadership track, students learn to explore, grow, and lead for effective ministry impact. 

The Outdoor Adventure Leadership track in the Business Administration program trains students to become empowered and confident leaders of future outdoor adventure programs and organizations. It prepares students for leadership through outdoor experiences, promotes opportunities to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), and connects students with outdoor adventure organizations and camps. Calvary University’s OAL track stretches students past their comfort zones—pushing them toward higher levels of mental and emotional maturity that they can utilize in their future careers as experienced outdoor adventure leaders.

Outdoor Adventure Leadership Career Paths

Graduates of the Business Program’s OAL track can make a big ministry impact. As they serve in parachurch activities in camping, adventure, and trekking, they can expect to make strong, long-lasting connections. These connections will provide opportunities to evangelize and witness to unbelievers, as well as disciple fellow believers in their walk with God.
