Summer Programs

Our purpose at Living Waters Bible Camp is to use God’s Word and His Creation, as well as adventure and relationships to draw people closer to Jesus Christ. For this reason, all of our Creation / Nature tours and programs are designed with a purpose to point to God, the Creator. To our knowledge, we were the first museum in the nation to provide a six-day creation layout; this format is both Biblically- and scientifically-based. Inside, you'll find various hands-on areas to investigate God's works, a laser display, a star constellation board, an iridescent rock display, multiple insect displays and over 200 mounted specimens. An important aspect of the museum is the Creation / Nature Library. Our library is a place to ask questions and to learn. It includes videos and books, an interactive area equipped with a multimedia center, as well as a large selection of programs, classes, and videos. It's full of valuable resources - allowing for further personal research - and it's a great place to conclude a tour of the museum. Join us for a Creation Conference like you have never experienced before!  At Living Waters Bible Camp we know and teach creation.  We also know that every time we begin to study creation we can't help but stop and worship the Creator!

Schedule a private tour today! The state-of-the-art 70,000 square foot museum brings the pages of the Bible to life, casting its characters and animals in dynamic form and placing them in familiar settings. Adam and Eve live in the Garden of Eden. Children play and dinosaurs roam near Eden’s Rivers. The serpent coils cunningly in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Majestic murals, great masterpieces brimming with pulsating colors and details, provide a backdrop for many of the settings. The area within the museum has been divided into unusually configured spaces that allow for personal interaction with each of the 160 exhibits. Several parts of the museum, including the stunning forty-foot high portico with its cliff wall and floor-to-ceiling glass windows, flaunt open spaces and remarkable designs. Walk through the Garden of Eden. See the scaffolding, smell the freshly-cut timbers in the busy work site of Noah’s Ark. Dig up dinosaur bones—or come face to face with T. Rex.

The Mount St. Helens Creation Center invites you to stop here to get the "point" our Creator left in the wake of the 1980-1984 eruptions - although there is literally no point any more on the mountain, there is truly a message from deep in the crater and its surroundings that you will not find at any other visitor center on Spirit Lake Memorial Highway. This center relates how geological formations, such as those created by the eruption of Mt. St. Helens, show that the earth may be only thousands of years old rather than billions. Many scientists now believe the best explanation for geological strata is that some catastrophe formed them. Creation scientists believe that the world-destroying Biblical Flood was the foremost catastrophe. Come and see the seven mountain wonders!

Over the last twenty years, our ministry has discovered that while many educational centers / museums have extensive programs showing many of God's wonderous works, almost none of them have attributed the works to God, but to evolution. We have discovered a great need in the community for an interactive creation museum. There are many secular, evolution-based museums throughout the country, but very few museums which tell the story of our origins from a creationist’s perspective. The Lord has blessed us with an incredible amount of bone and fossil material through our Creation excursions, such as the Ice Age Fossil Floats. We have been given the opportunity and resources to have these exhibits displayed for everyone to see! We welcome groups and individuals of all ages. Focused primarily on the Ice Age, this museum will display many kinds of fossils and the huge Columbian Mammoth bones found here in Florida. Over the years, as the number of home schooling families continues to grow, the need for outside resources, especially in the area of science, increases greatly. We want to provide homeschoolers with the opportunity to experience exciting hands-on experiments, as well as good, solid, scientific and biblically sound educational materials and curriculum.

Look up at a night sky exploding with stars. Get up close to an ant as she carries a load 20 times her own body weight. Listen to the music of a backyard pond coming alive at twilight. Each of these everyday wonders clearly teach the majesty, power, and character of our Creator God. At Alpine, it is our desire to guide students to discover truth about God and His world through the things that He has made. Imagine a place where the outdoors come to life inside. Natural objects are displayed in every corner, and live animals rest in their natural indoor habitats. Visitors play with animal tracks, count the rings on a giant tree cookie, or participate in a variety of hands-on explorations. Everything in the building boldly declares the glory of God, the Creator, through its exquisite design. Although there’s plenty of things to see and do inside, visitors are encouraged to venture outside and explore the native plant garden, bird feeders, animal habitats, and outdoor learning patio. They can then take the next step in their creation study by hiking the self-guided Creation Discovery Trail. The place described above is none other than Alpine’s new T.R.E.E. (Truth Revealed through Environmental Education) House, a headquarters for Outdoor Education and a haven for kids of all ages who appreciate the outdoors. This attractive, nature-themed log cabin is used as a rainy day classroom, a place to examine collected specimens, a sheltered observation station for watching wildlife, and a home for a variety of living examples of God’s handiwork such as snakes and turtles. Visit Alpine for an unforgettable learning experience exploring God’s created wonders in the T.R.E.E. House and throughout the natural areas all over our campus. Each class features hands-on, interactive learning experiences in the great outdoors.

Camp Gilead’s Creation Critter Ministry is here to serve you!  This ministry seeks to give children and young people an appreciation for all areas of nature as based on the Word of God, and to allow individuals to experience God’s creation close-up. Full-time staff missionary, Ron Yeater, is our Creation Critters expert.  An ordained minister and creationist with his Bachelor’s of Science in Elementary Education, Mr. Yeater has Class II and III permits from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

The foundations of our faith in God and confidence in the veracity of His Word are eroding due to the prevalence of anti-Genesis science teaching in our society. To establish a center which provides Biblically-based science education, science resources, and opportunities to experience science in the context of nature. To support and network with other organizations that honor the Creation/Gospel message. Development of a science learning center that will provide Biblically-based science education through workshops, field trips, seminars, hands-on laboratory activities, a museum, and a theme playground. Individuals or groups can come to explore and experience true science in the classroom, in the laboratory, and in the field. All activities are led by experienced, knowledgeable science educators. Resources from a Biblical perspective will also be available to reinforce learning.

Creation Quest is an organization dedicated to telling people about the Creator. They seek to serve families to let them know that God's word can be trusted. Through reaching out to families to teach them about the importance of Creation and God's Word. Pat Roy has created a four-month module of classes for children 10-18 which include tons of information about Creation and creative, hands-on activities. The goal of the course is to that reinforce the idea that God is the Master Creator who loves them and that they have ultimate purpose... the opposite of what the current culture teaches them. Join the team at Creation Quest for Summer Family Camp and tours of the Shasta Caverns. These events are sure to be edifying for the whole family as you are equipped with the truth of creation from God's Word. Their mission is to serve families with information that will help them to see God's hand in creation, to believe that they are made in the image of God and to trust that His Word is true.

How we answer questions of origins is critical to how we view ourselves, our families, our community, our nation and our world. Are we the result of billions of years worth of accidental random processes? Or are we instead the products of design with a purpose? Could there be an intelligent designer who is the mastermind behind all that we observe in the universe? Our Science Center was established to try to provide answers to these important questions. Come see our fascinating fossils and exhibits that ask the age-old questions of life. Find answers by using the tools of the scientist and historian. Come unlock the doors to truth with us. What you discover will change your life!

“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – His eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”  - Romans 1:20 The Bible says that God has left evidence of His character in all of Creation that we might come to know Him better. It is our goal at Saltwater Studies to guide our students in a scientific investigation of the marine environment, consequently increasing their knowledge of our world and our Creator. We design every class, field trip or experience to be an adventure in learning as we explore God’s magnificent creation. So dive in! Get your feet wet!  We pray that your life will be forever changed as you experience God in a new way. At Saltwater Studies you can expect prayer, Scripture, scientific information, worship, and thanksgiving!
