Field Trips

Discover Creation…Worship the Creator!

Fire and Ice*

Discover the wonders of Yellowstone National Park, the Grand Teton Mountains, and the Pacific Northwest, focusing particularly on the geologic processes of volcanism, glaciation, stratification, and erosion. Students will see evidence for the Great Missoula Flood and the Global Flood, as well as the intriguing effects of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. Points of biology and historical interest will be included along the way.

Floods of the West*

Discover, explore and wonder at the geologic features of the Southwest, focusing primarily on geology, but also including selected studies of biology and human history. Particular emphasis will be given to studying evidences of stratification and erosion. Learn a biblical perspective for the formation of Grand Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, Natural Bridges, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Parks, as well as the intriguing formations at Kodachrome Basin, and much more.

Relics of the Past*

These short adventures (integrated throughout the year as time allows) through SE Utah and the Four Corners region focuses primarily on archaeology and ancient history, with some geology and biology lessons included. See firsthand the accomplishments of ancient civilizations. Sites will be selected from Mesa Verde, Hovenweep, Chaco Canyon, and other lesser known sites.

**Costa Rica Adventure* (Optional at Additional Cost)**

This optional, but highly recommended combined field trip/ministry outreach will be an unforgettable experience, well worth the additional cost. It includes a broad introduction to the diverse ecosystems of Costa Rica, including live volcanoes, tropical rainforests, biological design, ecology, archaeology, and more. An important emphasis in this experience is the cross-cultural ministry with the Costa Rican people.

*Sites visited may vary due to weather, availability of permits, or other factors.
