The Capstone event is the eighth and final class of the Compass Points certificate program. Students must have received credit for all of the Compass Points coursework, including Site Administration, prior to registering for the Capstone. If you are uncertain about your eligibility for Capstone, please contact your denominational Compass Points Council representative or Joel Winchip. Candidates for the Capstone are advised to begin their projects several months prior to the event at which you plan to make your presentation. Students may choose to Capstone at any denominational outdoor ministries conference of their choice.
Through the Capstone process, you will...
• Spend time discerning how your ministry has been informed and how it might be enriched in the future as a result of the Compass Points Program
• Articulate a vision for how your ministry organization might have greater impact on relevant issues of our day
• Demonstrate a comprehensive grasp of the seven Compass Points content areas through written papers and oral presentations
• Share final projects in a workshop format with fellow Capstone candidates and workshop attendees
Students who successfully complete the Capstone project will be awarded their Compass Points certificate and compass.
After registering, students will receive the Capstone syllabus/curriculum as a pdf document via email. Please contact Jen Burch if you do not receive your program documents.
