Welcome to Adventure Education

 

 



What is Adventure Education?

 

Put yourself in this picture:

You are kayaking down a river in Utah, successfully reading currents and deftly negotiating class III rapids, literally immersed in your AE 331 course, Advanced Paddling.


 

You are researching the ideas of John Dewey for a 15-page paper for your AE 310 course, Philosophy & Theory of Adventure Education.
You are in a mock courtroom in your AE 450 course, Organization & Administration of Adventure Education, arguing for the defense of an outdoor educational program being sued by a client who was in a serious accident. To prepare, you have read statutes and researched in-depth the topic of risk management.
 

 
  • Do you like what you see?
  • Are you drawn to active learning that is challenging both physically and intellectually?
  • Do you have a curious and inquiring mind?
  • Are you committed to the process, sometimes 24/7, of becoming an Adventure Education professional?
