Upcoming Training Opportunities
Outdoor Leadership Lab, May 7-12, 2010
For the past 30 years the Outdoor Leadership LabTM has been the training grounds for students, outdoor professionals, and those in ministry to gain competence as leaders and instructors in facilitating a wide array of outdoor pursuits.
The hallmark of OLL is the unique combination of professional standards courses intertwined with the explicit purpose of sharing Christ’s truths through outdoor recreation. OLL exists not only to give people the technical skills necessary to lead in the outdoors but to use the outdoors as a tool for ministry.
Outdoor Leadership Lab will be holding its annual training May 7-12 in Virginia as a CAA sanctioned event. Go to OLL’s website for info on course offerings and to register.
Solid Rock Outdoor Ministries (SROM) presents the following CAA sanctioned events:

For thousands of years God has called people into the wilderness for encounters and leadership development. The wilderness is one of God’s training grounds, where he teaches his children how to know Him in all situations. He uses the wilderness to grow his children as godly leaders, stretching them spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally. He uses wilderness experiences to create personal encounters so they will call Him their own. He uses it to develop them into mighty men and women of God. If this is what you desire, then the 40/40 is for you.
