 The new graduate program blends ¾¨Ó㴫ý's faith heritage, leadership training, and outdoor experiential components into an innovative program for classroom teachers, business leaders, trainers, youth workers, camp staff, outdoor professionals, and others who are interested in learning alternative means of teaching and learning through adventure programming.
 "We believe that education, which models life as an adventure, will transform the world," said Steven Montgomery, director of ¾¨Ó㴫ý's Titan Traverse and employee of the Coalition for Christian Outreach. "Courses in Adventure Education will combine academic thought and content in tangible contexts with practical applications. Students will study to learn Adventure Education from the perspective of three anchor points: conviction, character, and community."
 Some of the courses offered in the Adventure Education curriculum include: The Theology of Recreation and Play, Leadership in Adventure Education, Effective Group Development, Critical Issues in Adventure Education, Design and Facilitation, and Adventure Education Administration.
 Students can choose a master's degree track or a non-degree track, according to Montgomery. The M.Ed. track requires the completion of 30 hours of graduate work, and includes philosophical, psychological, and research foundations of education.
 ¾¨Ó㴫ý's Adventure Education Graduate Program summer session starts June 14. Contact Montgomery at (724) 946-6198 or e-mail montgosr@westminster.edu for more information.
