Ministry Skills: Cross-country Skiing.

Catalog description

This course is specially designed to equip students with tools for ministry and the holistic, spiritual formation of others in a variety of contexts. Students will be fully immersed in developing cross-country skiing as a means to explore how physical activity within a Christian community and in an outdoor setting can contribute to holistic formation of self and others. The cross country skiing course will equip students with technical and equipment related skills including gliding, stopping, navigating terrain, waxing and caring for skis, and winter wilderness skills. Students will experience a formational process in their own life through course readings, community based outdoor experiences, and critical reflection and discussion. They will also consider how to facilitate similar formational experiences for others.
