Service Projects

Several times during the school year, we organize trips that include activities such as trail maintenance, trail blazing, cleaning up the Yellow Breeches, or helping out nearby organizations! Every trip the Outdoors Club takes is centered on serving our community. This can be done through many ways: picking up trash along the trail or in the water, maintaining the trail, witnessing to others, and acting in a Christian manner. We want to influence others on environmental ethics and why we should take care of God’s creation.

É«×ۺϾþà University Agapé Center

The Agapé Center links students, faculty, and the community in their common interests of learning and serving. Students “learn to serve and serve to learn.” Faculty use service activities to enrich courses through the interaction of “real life” experience with academic reflection and theory. Community agencies use student volunteers to strengthen their programs and expand their services!

Destinations

Twin Ponds

Twin Ponds is where we have our ice skating trips! It has two spaces, East Pond and West Pond, and provides for a great time during the cold weather.

Youghiogheny River

This is where we typically take our rafters for an awesome experience! We raft on Lower Youghiogheny River which is Class III and IV white water. You can also kayak, fish, and rent bikes for exploring the trails!

Roundtop

Roundtop is a great place for not only skiing but zip lining as well! There are 18 zip lines for all ability and thrill levels. The Vertical Trek is their most comprehensive zip line experience with 10 zip lines up to 400 feet long and 40 feet high!
