The Adventure Safaris

Outfitters for life

Dinosaur Discovery Camp

What is Adventure Safaris?

                The Adventure Safaris organization has been busy for the last eight years providing field trips, summer camp presentations, and creation science classes geared mainly to home school students. Russ McGlenn and his colleague John Nuckols teach almost 1000 students in the greater Twin Cities area.

                Adventure Safaris is an educational arm of Twin Cities Creation Science Association (TCCSA).  The teaching goal of this work is to present scientific materials that support and explain Biblical truth.  Using facts and data from true science helps build young people's faith in the reliability of the Bible.  Of particular importance is the teaching of a literal six days of creation and the worldwide Flood of Noah's day.

                Russ uses many hands-on visuals and experiments to capture the imagination and interest of the students.  Through all his teaching, Russ emphasizes the need to look for the message God has written in His creation which is this: the similarity of design and diversity of creation testifies and points to a Great Designer and does not support an evolutionary or naturalistic interpretation of the world and universe around us.

Who are the Adventure Safaris leaders?

                Russ McGlenn and his wife, (the late) Tricia, are home missionaries for TCCSA who began in the Minneapolis area and have now moved to California.  Their main vision is to reach students and families with God's message of love for this world through God's reveled word the Bible and natural revelation of His creation (Rom. 1:22) Russ received his Diploma in Christian Education from Multnomah School of the Bible.  Russ teaches in 14 home school co-ops to about 600 children.  He has developed curriculum for Comparative Anatomy, Astronomy, Geology and Genetics and written three books. The Dinosaur Dig Workbook, Mystery of the Indian Effigy Mounds, on Native American earthen mounds made in the image of dinosaurs, and Design v. Chaos, a new model of the atom based on classical science and biblical principles.

 

Theme Verse and Goal

                “What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we beheld and our hands handled, concerning the Word of life, and the life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness and proclaim to you the eternal life ....” 1 John 1:1.

                The goal of the dig is to look for geological and fossil evidence that will verify or falsify our hypothesis that this area's geology resulted from Noah's Flood.
