About the Program: COR Expeditions is the wilderness ministry outreach program of Wyoming Catholic College in Lander, Wyoming. COR exists to reclaim the wealth of people’s identity and purpose in Christ through a wide variety of wilderness experiences. We accompany people through relational ministry by exposing them to encounter Jesus in wilderness, adventure, and community. COR seeks employees who are passionate about that mission, dedicated, solution oriented, and motivated to improve their skills.
COR was born from the success of WCC’s faith-based Outdoor Leadership Program. COR is fundamentally oriented towards sharing the spiritual and leadership goals of this program with a wider audience beyond the college community and becoming the premier Catholic wilderness ministry through its adherence to the professional and safety standards of the outdoor industry.
COR works with a variety of programs, including youth groups, seminaries, high schools, colleges, and young adult groups, as well as promoting its own open enrollment trips.
