The 户外休闲 Education Program is a multifaceted and comprehensive education program offering outdoor adventure courses to all DSU students for credit. The outdoor adventure courses are found in the DSU Catalog under PER 190-198. Each semester, a variety of outdoor education courses are offered.
In 2008, the Heflin-Ockerbloom family provided the means to establish the ‘Dave Heflin 教授ship’, with the intent of ensuring that there would always be someone at DSU to organize outdoor recreation courses such as rafting, 划独木舟, 攀岩, 和皮划艇. Dr. Todd Davis has fulfilled this vision through his role the past three years as Recreation Leadership Program Director. Nothing pays tribute to Dave Heflin more than to know that this professorship will continue to grow and provide the means for students to continue to partake in outdoor recreation course and take outdoor recreation education field trips.
In the spirit of growth, the professorship now has a new ‘home.’ The Dave Heflin 户外休闲 Laboratory was established in 2017 to house the 户外休闲 Education Program on the campus of Delta State University. 这个1,600 square foot area will serve as the official education and outfitter facility for the program and allow students the opportunity to receive high-quality outdoor education, as well as train and experiment with outdoor gear and equipment. The laboratory is a repurposed locker room which was not used for some time in the Forest E. Wyatt Center for 健康, Physical Education, and Recreation. The vision for the lab was developed by Todd Davis, Director of Recreation Leadership and Outdoor Education. The space is vivid and bright with numerous photos illustrating the past and present with room for packing and training, has movable lab tables, 齿轮积载, 清洗/工作室, and a storage center.
