Creation Science Homeschool Science Camp
Sept 5-9, 2008 (Mount St. Helens area)
September 5 to 9 2008 [Friday noon to Tuesday noon]
Our 19th year!
$140 for campers; $90 for adults
Held at Cispus Learning Center near Mt St Helens, WA
Designed for age 9 to age 16
Cispus Learning Center is located in deep forest two hours north of Portland, near Mt St Helens. It is a wonderful facility for children and adults with many miles of hiking trails, creeks, open meadows and comfortable modern facilities. The heated cabins have bathrooms with showers. A full size gym and a modern dining facility are just a short walk from the cabins. The 2008 camp theme will be VOLCANOES and campers will participate in day trips to the Blast Zone of Mount St. Helens.
Homeschool Science Camp is committed to teaching students about the wonders of natural things and events, in the context of a "hands-on" outdoor classroom. With a Biblical perspective and an emphasis on creation, campers learn about science in fun, innovative ways. The campers will develop a thoughtful appreciation for and a knowledge of the world that God created for our benefit. They will learn more about God's handiwork and gain a proper understanding of the amazing interdependence of life in our universe. We provide a positive group living experience with opportunities to meet new Christian friends who also homeschool. Individuals will develop sound health habits and attitudes by providing and maintaining a clean, safe, and healthy environment in all areas of camp.
A typical camp day includes 2 morning science classes, 2 afternoon recreation periods, evening creation lecture, campfire, 3 great meals and lots of supervised fun. SCIENCE AREAS Geology; Volanoes, Erosion, Astronomy; River and stream life; Rockets; Friction; Leverage; Knots; Fire Building; Ornithology; Animal Kingdom; Cycle; Interaction; Forestry; Classification; Dinosaurs (classes & recreation vary with available instructors) RECREATION Archery; Crafts; Hiking Trails; Large gym for basketball & volleyball; Large field for soccer & nature games; Fun skits during evening campfire.
Outdoor School Science Camp was started by Christian homeschool parents who wanted their children to have an Outdoor School learning experience in the safety of other Christian homeschooled children and adults. All staff including the director are volunteers- no one is paid. All staff are carefully screened for integrity and Christian maturity. A typical camp will see 100 children and 25 or more adults in attendance. Science Camp is non-denominational and is for Christians who believe in creation, love science and enjoy the outdoors. As always, PARENTS are strongly encouraged (but are not required) to attend as cabin counselors or teachers in areas of expertise. A $50 deposit will hold a place at camp. Balance is due by August 15. A full set of forms (with more information!) will be sent when the deposit is received. Our website contains all the information on the forms we normally mail so you may print them off and save us all some postage!

Expelled
Ben Stein stars in the new film EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed, opening in theatres near you, April 18. Visit the Expelled website
Ben realizes that he has been “Expelled,” and that educators and scientists are being ridiculed, denied tenure and even fired – for the “crime” of merely believing that there might be evidence of “design” in nature, and that perhaps life is not just the result of accidental, random chance.
His heroic and, at times, shocking journey confronting the world’s top scientists, educators and philosophers, regarding the persecution of the many by an elite few.
Ben travels the world on his quest, and learns an awe-inspiring truth…that bewilders him, then angers him…and then spurs him to action!
