Abstract	Outdoor adventure education (OAE) has long held on to the assumption that learning is transferred to participants’ lives (e.g., Gass, 1985). Recent scholars have contested this assumption, noting that learning transfer may not be a complete lens through which learning is viewed. Transformative learning theory (e.g., Mezirow, 1991) has been posed as a complimentary lens to understand learning in OAE. Using a qualitative, phenomenological approach, this study sought to explore how learning from the Oregon State University Adventure Leadership Institute presents itself in the lives of ALI alumni. Findings indicate that participants experienced both learning transfer and transformative learning. Transformative learning theory offered insight into a rich learning experience otherwise uncaptured by learning transfer. Findings affirm what has long been an anecdotal belief that OAE programming is transformational for students.
