COLUMBIA RIVER FAMILY GEOLOGY CAMPS
Columbia River Family Geology Camps
SAVE THE DATES FOR 2023!
June 12-16, 2023
We hope you can join us in the future!
Imagine sitting with your family and friends under the starry sky, with the sound of the Columbia River as your backdrop. It is at times like this that deep questions are asked, and life directions are often set.
Located amidst the peaks and plateaus of the Okanogan country on the banks of the Columbia, Peniel Ranch is the perfect place to bring the whole family for a vacation you won’t soon forget! And this is the location for the Columbia River Family Geology Camp, where you can expect to have a wonderful family vacation, built around studying and experiencing the geology of the area from a Biblical perspective.
Theme
The theme for this summer’s camp is: Rocks, minerals, dinosaurs, volcanoes, history, and…Apologetics!
Host and Teacher
Patrick Nurre of Northwest Treasures, Geology, will be your teacher and host for this fun and enriching time together, as we discover how to defend Genesis through Geological Apologetics! Not only will we help equip you to be effective in interacting with our culture using the book of Genesis, but we will address questions like:
- Was the Genesis Flood a real historical event?
- How did the Genesis Flood impact our culture, our Earth, and our environment?
- What does the Genesis Flood have to do with issues of morality?
- How does Genesis explain extinction and issues like Global Warming and the disappearance of so many plants and animals?
Activities
We will enjoy activities like:
- Rock identification in the field
- Fossil dig project
- Fluorescent rock demonstration
- Fascinating talks on creation, the Flood, and geology
- Kayaking, swimming, paddle boarding, cart races, pony rides, archery, ping pong, and so much more!
- Time and restrictions permitting, we may make a side trip to Dry Falls, the Scablands/Missoula Flood area, and/or the Columbia Flood basalts.
Cost
Cost for this budget-minded adventure includes:
- Housing for four nights
- All activities and supplies
- All meals, including first night and final morning. Diet restrictions can be accommodated.
