The Creation Care Study program is a high-caliber academic semester abroad connecting Christian faith with the most complex, urgent global issues of the coming decades.

We offer two programs during both fall and spring semesters: one in Belize, Central America and one in the South Pacific (New Zealand and Samoa).

Adventurous students embrace new intellectual and spiritual challenges while experiencing the unparalleled learning opportunities of tropical rainforests, mountain streams, and coral reefs.

Natural wonders, vibrant cross-cultural exchange, and outstanding faculty combine to make CCSP the semester of a lifetime.
