Experiential Learning is “learning by doing.”
In addition to experiential learning at events, students and mentors are able to participate in “missions” aboard the first CF-1 Vertical Obstacle Course, at Command Post Alpha inside Gameday Sports Academy in Memphis, Tennessee (see photo below).
In the CF-1, missions take students into a “real-life videogame atmosphere.” The CF-1 has more than 10 rooms with many “problem-solving” challenges. Missions last anywhere from 12 minutes to 2 hours.
Each adventure-themed scenario provides a unique opportunity for students to interact with their mentors.
After the mission is completed, a facilitator moderates a discussion session with students and mentors about their reactions to the challenges they have just encountered, and the Biblical standard that was integrated into the mission.

docking bay.
