Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a "family friendly" trip?

Absolutely! It's a great opportunity for families to experience memories that will last a lifetime. It will also help parents (and grandparents) mentor their children (and grandchildren) as God commands us in Deuteronomy 6:4-9.

Is there a minimum age?

The minimum age is 5 (required by the rafting company). We ask that children 17 or under be accompanied by a parent or guardian. If a child is joining another family as a guest, we will need a liability release signed by that child's parent or guardian. We would also suggest that the host family obtain written, notarized permission from the child's parents for travel.

Would this trip be good for inviting unsaved friends and family members?

Definitely! It will be a very welcoming, gracious environment where the sincere skeptic would be graciously challenged regarding their worldview. It is not meant to be a debate environment, because that is not the intent of the trip, and we want to ensure a great and comfortable experience for all who attend. We will be discussing evidence for the flood and the validity of the Genesis creation account, but the main point will be the authority of Scripture and the Gospel message (which will be directly presented along the way).

When are the lectures given and what will be discussed?

Information will be shared on the bus while in route; there will be several on-the-rim talks and lectures during the raft trip. There will also be time for Q&A. We will primarily be revealing the authority of God’s Word through the Genesis flood and Grand Canyon. We will also discuss the creation vs. evolution debate and answer questions on Christianity and the Bible in general.
