Tasks will include building observation decks, docks, trails, tearing down old fences, putting up new corals, demolishing old buildings, putting in signage and more.

Preparing for College
Statistics tell us that 80% of young people will drift away from their faith by the time they have completed college. Often it is because their core beliefs are challenged day in and day out by professors who know how to ridicule and make fun of Christian beliefs. This is especially true in the area of science. This weekend event will be led by Brian Young. Brian will provide resources and information needed by young people so that they can faithfully reflect their Christian values and beliefs. This is a must for juniors and seniors in high school.
Dates: June 19-21
Ages: 16-18 year olds
Rates: $105
 
Creation Safari Weeks
These week long camps for 3-6th grade will allow children see nature from a creation perspective. They will have activities including excavation of animal bones, “hunts” for animals, flowers, and special plants; trapping of insects, rodents, and microscopic pond inhabitants; orienteering, Bible study focusing on creation and messianic prophecy; campfires, fishing, sports, and crafts that are “creative”.
Dates:
Safari Week 1 July 12-17
