Impact
Impact
Impact is Grove City College’s outdoor adventure learning program sponsored by the Office of Student Life and Learning. Since its inception in 2016, the program has provided students the opportunity to engage in a vibrant learning environment designed to enhance their understanding of Christ, self, others, and the world. Through team-building, break trips, and training workshops, Impact serves as a conduit for student formation. The Impact program offers three main learning modules:
Open Enrollment Trips
Open enrollment trips are retreats, events, and training seminars that are open to all students. These events are designed to facilitate learning in and through an outdoor adventure context. Places traveled to include Colorado Springs, Colorado; New River Gorge, West Virginia; Raystown Lake, Pennsylvania; White Mountains, New Hampshire; and Joshua Tree National Park, California.
Team Learning Environments
Clubs, organizations, teams, departments, and groups can request tailored trips, retreats, or activities designed to build teamwork and attain specifically identified goals. Examples include:
Backpacking or climbing
Low or high challenge course facilitation
Leadership development trainings and retreats
Group development activities
Student Leadership Development
Students can apply to serve on Impact’s Adventure Leadership Team. Through this leadership development program, students will be discipled and will be trained to design, facilitate, and instruct outdoor and adventure experiences. The Adventure Leadership Team oversees five adventure activity areas, and each activity area team organizes, designs, and instructs learning opportunities for their particular activity. The teams include:
Challenge Team
Climbing Team
Mountain Biking Team
Trail & Travel Team
Water Team
Mission Statement
In serving the mission of Grove City College and upholding its values, Impact exists to empower students to be faithful to right living in and through outdoor adventure learning. The program is distinguished by purposeful experiences that cultivate rich relationships with God, self, others, and creation and prepares students to be ambassadors in the outdoor adventure industry.
Vision Statement
In promotion of the vision of Grove City College, Impact strives to develop exceptional leaders grounded in Scripture and characterized by thoughtful engagement, a resilient spirit, compassion, and the pursuit of knowledge for the blessing of others and for the furthering of Christ’s kingdom.
