Highlights of past safari's not being offered at this time: 

 

Western Kansas

A three day Trip that starts at the Tuttle Creek Reservoir where we can observe “the Grand Canyon of Kansas” near Manhattan, then drive west to central KS to visit a fence post rock quarry, dig up some volcanic ash, and hunt for clam fossils near Wilson Reservoir. We will camp two nights in Ellis, with side trips the next two days, to explore the Niobrara chalk country for clams, sharks teeth, fish fossils and maybe a mosasuar. The final day, south of Oakley, the chalk monuments are outstanding, and make some stunning photos

 

Photo/Nature Hike at O.P. Arboretum

Join us for a nature hike and photo safari in the botanical gardens and nature trails of the Overland Park Arboretum. Not a photo bug? We’ll present some basic photo techniques to help get you started. We’ll also discuss God's wonderful creation and suggest photo subjects so you can share what you’ve learned by posting photos on Facebook, other social media, e-mails, or perhaps by simply sharing them in a slide show for your Sunday school class or other venue. So pack your camera, water, trail mix, and comfortable shoes, and join us as we learn to appreciate God's wonderful creation. See our Safari details for more info on costs.

 

Ozark Stream Float - Elk River

A beautiful river that will provide family fun, fishing, and fellowship. By getting there on Thursday and floating on Friday, we miss most of the noisy groups, which makes for better canoeing and fishing.

Note: Registration for this safari must be made as early as possible and requires you to contact the outfitter to arrange canoes for your party. See our Safari detail booklet for more info on costs.

 

KU Natural History Museum

This very popular safari is back. In 2013 we did it three times. Yet once more, we'll enter “evolutions cathedral” to unmask its misleading displays and show that the same evidence better supports creation. We’ll also do some fossil hunting on the way there, so that you can collect some evidence of your own.

 

Greater KC Fossil Hunt

We visit many of Kansas City’s fossil sites and bring home lots of fossils and a respect for the Biblical flood. We find lots of fossils and discuss how the ice age affected the Kansas City area.

 

Southeast Missouri

Three days of exploring Missouri’s volcanic past. We swim and play in chutes carved into volcanic ash rock at Johnson’s Shut-Ins, explore a huge granite pluton with strange and fanciful boulders at Elephant Rocks State Park, climb up a mountain to see the Devils Post Pile, visit an old silver mine for mineral samples, camp, and enjoy discussions and fellowship.

 

Rock Bridge State Park

On this day trip, we'll visit Rock Bridge State Park. Caves, Underground Rivers, Sink Holes, Springs, and Natural Bridges are all found in the small area of Rock Bridge Park, in abundance. We will learn that most of it formed in less than a hundred years.

 

Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge Eagle Days

Depending on the weather, we’ll see somewhere around 400,000 snow geese and 124 bald eagles, along with ducks, herons, and trumpeter swans. This is a bird lover's paradise. Although it can get quite cold, it's well worth bundling up for. We'll fossil-hunt on the way. We'll stop to view and discuss some ice-age loess soil. We’ll also discuss migration patterns, and the “dinosaur-to-bird” evolution story. There will be eagle viewing and other programs for Eagle Days. Depending on weather and bird counts, we might visit other nearby sites for further viewing.
