CHRISTIAN ADVENTURE ASSOCIATION’S MISSION
Connecting Christian leaders and students in the adventure and wilderness industry to promote collaboration, faith integration, fellowship and transformational growth.
WHAT CAA DOES
The Christian Adventure Association is the professional association and place of fellowship for those who use wilderness and adventure activities to impact lives for Christ.
BRIEF HISTORY OF CAA
CAA is the joining of the Christian Adventure Education Institute (CAEI) and the Christian Wilderness Leaders Coalition (CWLC). The merger was completed in January 2008. In the summer of 2005, CWLC and CAEI decided in order to best serve Christians using wilderness and adventure activities the two organizations should work as one, combining their efforts and resources, not competing to serve. CAEI and the CWLC each trace their roots back to 1984, bring over 2 decades of history and experience with them. CAEI key resource to the organization is the Outdoor Leadership Lab (OLL) which provides solid skills training in a variety of wilderness and adventure activities along with Christian integration. As CAA moves into full swing, there is a desire to expand trainings that happen through OLL. CWLC key resource to the organization is conferences. Conferences provide space to network, learn, fellowship, and be rejuvenated with others in the industry. CAA will continue providing quality conferences to meet the needs of those in the wilderness and adventure fields.
