Explore is offered through a partnership between Prairie College and Frontier Lodge

What Makes This Program Different

Deep discipleship and rigorous leadership development lie at the heart of our highly experiential outdoor leadership program.

Explore 2 provides an environment that empowers people to lead and influence others for the Kingdom of God. Through wilderness-based team adventures, integrated biblical education and real leadership opportunities, students will discover more about who God is and their role in His redemptive work.

Building off of their first year experience, second year students have the opportunity to dive deeper into their understanding who God is by expanding their own leadership capacity, academic biblical studies, and advancing in their own outdoor skills with an emphasis on becoming “excellent, Kingdom-focused outdoor instructors.”

In Explore 2, students take significant responsibility in the planning, execution and facilitation of outdoor experiences, which include numerous outdoor-focused teaching practicums, and culminates in a 21 day backpacking trip in Death Valley, California.

Completing this 2 year diploma will prepare students to be competent and effective outdoor instructors, and equip them to take the “Professional Mountain Bike Instructor” course at the end of the year.

For over 20 years, the Outdoor Leadership Program has cultivated Kingdom leaders prepared for a variety of vocations.

What Makes This Program Different

We emphasize student leadership experience, experiential education, Bible integrated with experiences, and significant time in a wilderness-based non-traditional campus setting.

In our four year program, spend at least 28 weeks in the mountains at Frontier Lodge honing leadership skills like communication, decision making, problem solving and conflict management. Continue your development in outdoor sports through our Alpine Skills Course, our 21-day Backpack Expedition in Death Valley National Park (USA), your Wilderness First Responder certification, and more. Also build specialized knowledge regarding the design and application of experiential education curriculum, and your personal skills as an excellent instructor.

Complete a vetted, personalized internship suited to your goals and interests. Internship placements range from locations in Canada to overseas locations such as New Zealand, Swaziland or China.

Continue to spend the shoulder seasons on Prairie College Campus where you will expand your knowledge and discernment of the Bible, participate in classic on-campus life, and participate in on-campus leadership.

You will take courses from guest lecturers that range in experience and expertise. We have former military SERE instructors, commercial pilots, business executives, and camp directors come and teach portions of our upper level courses.

For over 20 years, the Explore Program has cultivated Kingdom leaders prepared for a variety of vocations. 

Students interested in minoring in Outdoor Leadership and majoring in Business will complete two years of Outdoor Leadership (which include the Alpine Skills Course and the 21-day Backpack Expedition), and then go on to finish their business courses with a more business-oriented internship.

Recommended packing list for the Explore Program at Prairie and Frontier Lodge.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE

You do not need to buy all of your winter wilderness clothing and gear prior to arriving for Explore. After fall rotation, you will know better what you need for winter rotation. The program director, interns, and other staff will be able to help guide you in picking out the best products. So although we do, recommend that students purchase the majority of their fall wilderness equipment prior to their arrival at Prairie, we do not expect students to buy all their winter gear before arrival at Prairie. It is better to spend less than more before you start Explore.

A Tip For Purchasing Gear

If you are looking to be economical in your gear purchases, keep in mind that the “essential equipment” (backpack, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, hiking shoes and a waterproof rain shell) is important to buy for comfort and durability. Other items like hiking clothing do not need to be expensive and can even be purchased at thrift stores!

At the bottom of the page we have also included a list of online gear resources, some of which offer good discounts on outdoor equipment.


Information About Equipment

Layering of Clothing

Layering of clothing is important, as it allows you to quickly adapt to weather conditions by adding or removing layers. It is important to purchase layers that serve one purpose (insulating, moisture wicking, waterproofing etc.). Adding and removing layers is key in maintaining comfort and adapting to weather.

  • Base Layer: Layer of clothing that sits right up against your skin (ie. long underwear top and bottom and personal undergarments) The base layer must be capable of wicking moisture away from your body, allowing it to evaporate and keep you dry. For your base layer to perform most effectively it should be form fitting rather then baggy. Materials commonly used include polypropylene, polyester and silk. A really good option for base layer shirts are fitted merino wool shirts (you can get these at Costco for $15.00 to $25.00)
  • Insulating Layer: Keeps your body warm in cold temperatures. Again, it is important that the material be somewhat capable of wicking moisture away from your body. Materials commonly used to insulate include: fleece, wool, down, and other synthetics like polyester and polypropylene. Just remember, no cotton! Wet cotton is unable to insulate your body and will not dry quickly. Other materials like fleece and wool, retain most of their insulating value when wet and dry very quickly. Down is a great outdoor insulator because it packs down small and insulates very well. The only problem is that it does not insulate when wet and dries very slowly.
  • Shell Layer: Protection from nature’s elements of wind, rain and snow. The last layer is the shell layer. It is important to have a waterproof and breathable shell that is capable of keeping you dry in rain and snow and is also able to breathe, allowing your body’s moisture to escape, therefore, keeping you dry. Materials commonly used in a shell include Gore-Tex, Triple Point, or other waterproof and breathable materials.


Hiking Boots

There are many types of boots on the market made by different companies. Consider the following when making your purchase:

  • Comfort: When comparing fits and sizes, consider a boot that is comfortable. An uncomfortable boot may always be uncomfortable. Take time to break in your boots well before you come to Explore. This often takes a while, so start wearing them for short periods of time so that you can gradually increase duration until you can walk comfortably for about 8 hours a day. Remember, the heavier the boot, the longer they will take to break in.
  • Fit: Make sure the size of the boot allows for a thick pair of socks. Your toe should not hit the end of the boot and your foot should be secure and not sliding around. Be sure to note the heel as it should not slide up and down.
  • Support: We recommend a mid to heavy class hiking/backpacking boot, something that will offer good support. Make sure the boot is capable of keeping your foot dry in wet and snowy conditions.

Some brand examples for boots include: Sorrels, Merrell, Marmot, Solomon, Mountain Warehouse, Keen, Lowa, Arc’teryx

Backpack

There are two main styles of backpacks: external and internal frame packs. However, over the years we have found that the students prefer internal frame packs.

Internal Frame Packs: These packs will secure your load for technical hiking and are often very comfortable to wear. The disadvantages are that it can be tougher to access gear and there is less airflow between your back and pack.

  • Fit: When you buy your pack, ask an employee to fit and size your bag for you. Look for a bag with well-padded shoulder and hip straps. When your pack is loaded, it should not sway from side to side as you move.
  • Capacity: For our purposes we recommend a 65-80 L/4000-5000 C.I. bag. Don’t assume that the bigger the bag the better because if your bag is too big, it becomes easy to end up carrying more than you really need.


Sleeping Bag

There are two fills commonly used in good winter sleeping bags: synthetic and down.

  • Synthetic-filled bags: These bags are normally cheaper than down. They are capable of insulating when wet and dry quickly. The disadvantages are that they are heavier, bulkier and likely to wear out sooner than down.
  • Down-filled bags: Down is one of the best known insulators. It is lightweight, compressible and long lasting. The disadvantages are that they lose all insulating ability when wet and they take a long time to dry. Down bags will also commonly cost more than synthetic bag of a similar temperature rating.

Sizing and Temperature: Make sure the bag is the right length and has a well fitting hood. We recommend that the temperature rating be approximately -20 to -10C or -4F to 14F. When buying your bag, also remember to consider your own body’s temperature gauge, and adjust accordingly.

For extra warmth, a fleece liner can be an inexpensive way to add 5 to 10C temperature rating of warmth to your sleeping bag.

Sleeping Pad

Sleeping pads are important for comfort, warmth and protection from ground moisture. While camping in the winter, insulating yourself from the ground can make a huge difference in keeping you warm and dry.

There are two main types of sleeping pads: closed cell foam and self-inflating mattresses.

  • Closed-cell foam: This is inexpensive, durable and a good insulating device. The disadvantages are that it is not the most comfortable and maybe space consuming.
  • Self-inflating pad: These are good, comfortable insulators and some may pack down very small. The insulating value of a self-inflating pad is higher when the pad contains less air and more foam. The disadvantages are that the self-inflating pads are more expensive and may be punctured by sharp objects. Make sure you have a repair kit with you if you choose to go this route. 
  • Cost: When determining which sleeping pad to buy, consider cost, comfort, insulating value, durability and packing size.

Here are key opportunities you can partner with Prairie

We have launched our Campaign for Greater Impact to provide students with the very best learning opportunities and campus facilities for the decades ahead. 

In Phase One of this Campaign, we plan to invest in much-needed campus renewal, including: upgraded Infrastructure, a new Student Residence, Cafeteria, Worship Auditorium, and expanded Aviation Training Centre. A modern campus requires an investment that is bold, and even expensive, but each Campaign Project is strategic, and designed to enhance Prairie’s campus and student life experience.

Expansion of Prairie Aviation Training Centre

This expansion of PATC’s facility is a key project of Prairie’s Campaign for Greater Impact. It will increase the College’s capacity to train a new generation of Christian aviators to serve God in missions, and also address the growing need for trained pilots in the commercial aviation sector.

Scholarships & Education Fund

Invest in the next generation of missional professionals. Each year Prairie College distributes over $500,000 in scholarships and bursaries to students. We are grateful for each gift that reduces the burden of students’ tuition and allows students to fulfill their God-given professions.

Prison Bible Encounter Program

Encourage inmates in five institutions across Alberta to discover or reconnect with Jesus Christ. This fund assists the students studying the Certificate in Bible program with scholarships, resources for classes, and instruction. 

General Ministries

Prairie College is educating students to pursue a Biblical foundation for life and career.  Your contribution to this fund assists in minimizing the College’s general operating expenses.
