CCSP launches a new program we're calling CCSP Cascadia!

Well-known author Shane Claiborne calls CCSP Cascadia, “ a space where you can re-imagine the way we live.”  Come join the inaugural CCSP Cascadia semester Spring 2013 and re-imagine new community based ways to live…new ways to become agents of sustainable change through organic gardening, social entrepreneurship & creation of resilient local communities.  CCSP Cascadia is located on 40 forested acres on Camano Island by the Salish Sea north of Seattle with abundant opportunities for sea kayaking, backpacking & discovering the call of the Creator God on your life.  E-mail [email protected] for more info.

What did Lizz do for her internship during fall 2012? 

One day she got called away on an amazing zoo adventure.  Hear her story by clicking on the link below.

We're back! After ten days on the South Island's west coast, we have learned much, seen much, and have much to tell. Dr. Joe Sheldon has been our fearless leader as we studied the various ecosystems on the west coast.

The semester is flying along and we only have about four weeks left, but a lot left to see and do! This past week, Corey Beals from George Fox University joined us to teach us holistically about God and Nature. Through a series of readings, discussions, hikes, swims and presentations, we engaged our mind, heart, soul and body in a thorough learning experience. 

A major "text" of our class this past week was our homestay with some local old-order Mennonites. Through attending church, horse and buggy rides, and going to sleep when it got dark out, we got a taste of a life lived intimately with the land. We were also challenged to rethink our choices about technologies that we choose to adopt, what is good for community, and the importance of community in our faith.

CCSP Belize has moved to a beautiful new campus! After a long and careful search we have found a wonderful new location to call home. We are excited to be starting this new semester at a new campus in the foothills of the Maya Mountains on the edge of some of the largest tracts of protected land in the country.
