Foundations in Genesis of Idaho/Oregon
FIELD ADVENTURE
SOUTHWEST CANYON LANDS
JUNE 14 TO 22, 2008
Information & Registration
All
spaces have been filled but you may put your name on the waiting list.
Seeing the unseen through
the seen (Romans 1:20) characterizes the southwest canyon lands with Grand
Canyon, Zion Canyon and Bryce Canyon National Parks. These areas show all the
evidences of a recent creation together with more recent marks of a world-wide
catastrophic Flood. Field Adventure participants will see vertical walled
canyons, slot canyons, deep canyons, colorful canyons, massive three-dimensional
exposures of water-laid sedimentary rocks, hoodoos, arches, faults, intricate
cross-bedded sandstone, volcanic flows, liquefaction plumes, and many more
awesome / spellbinding wonders.
Other interesting sights to observe and study include debris slides, fossils,
petrified trees, graded bedding, and much more. Extensive guidebook will be
provided to all registrants. Some short hikes will be involved, in order to
view sites in close-up perspective. Buses will be the mode of transportation,
with camping in both National Park and private facilities.
TRIP DETAILS
TRAVEL and FOOD PROVISIONS
Two buses will leave Boise on Saturday, June
14 and return on Sunday, June 22, 2008. A Caterer on wheels will be traveling
with us to provide three meals per day.
TRANSPORTATION
The two buses we will be utilizing are large
capacity with each bus able to seat a total of 48 people, and thus, two buses
will accommodate 96 people. There will be plenty of room for family, soft
luggage and camping gear.
CAMPING CONSIDERATION
Most
participants will be staying in group camp sites, using tents. All of the
camping facilities have restrooms with showers, tables, scattered fire pits and
pool. Motel facilities are located adjacent to all of the campgrounds for ones
desiring indoor lodging. For those interested, we will supply phone
numbers for contacting the lodging facilities for reservations.
Note: For those who desire indoor lodging: Due to very high summer use,
motel reservations should be made by the registered participants right now.
COSTS
Total costs for adults and kids nine and older will be
$350 to $400 per person for the nine day Field Adventure. Kids eight and
younger will
be about $150 to $200 per child. The spread in price at this time is because of
variance in unknown camping fees, unknown National Park entrance fees, and
coordination costs for organization of this Field Adventure. Two of the
campgrounds have no charge for kids under three years of age at this time. Some of
the camping facilities are planning on increasing costs, but we will not know
details until after January 1, 2008. The total costs per person shown above
include bus transportation, meals, entrance fees to the Parks (if needed),
camping facilities, and the Field Adventure Guidebook.
We are applying for educational exemption from entrance fees from the three
National Parks. We believe FIGI/O will qualify, but do uphold that request in
your prayers.
Normally, buses are charged a
minimum, depending on number of passengers, of about $160 to $180 per bus per
Park.
