How does the Outdoor Education program implement in-class study and field experiences?
Montreat’s Outdoor Education program is a balance of in-class study and direct field experience, which promotes intellectual growth, and understanding of the skills and knowledge necessary to enter a variety of related fields of practice. Through discussion-oriented classes and experience in the field, students are able to design, implement, and administer Outdoor Education programs that are safe, challenging, and enjoyable. Our goal is to produce professional outdoor educators who have the knowledge and skills to make useful contributions to the field.
