Impact


DSC_6605637170741285757661

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
