August 15-18, 2026 4-Day River Trip

Answers in Genesis Apologetics + Geology + Dinosaurs with Nate Loper & Bryan Osborne!

Join us for an unforgettable 4-day rafting journey through one of the most extraordinary landscapes on earth. Led by Canyon Ministries’ Nate Loper and Answers in Genesis speaker Bryan Osborne, this trip blends thrilling whitewater, stunning geology, and deep biblical teaching that brings God’s Word to life in powerful ways.

As we travel 90 miles down the Colorado River, you’ll explore majestic side canyons, ride exciting rapids, and spend time under open skies filled with stars. Along the way, we’ll dive into key apologetics topics—from the formation of the Grand Canyon to fascinating discussions about dinosaurs and the days of creation.

Each teaching moment is designed to strengthen your faith and stir your sense of wonder. Whether we’re sharing insights from Scripture at a quiet beach camp or pausing mid-river to observe the towering canyon walls, you’ll experience firsthand how God’s creation declares His glory. This is more than a river trip. It’s a journey of faith, fellowship, and fresh discovery in a place where the rocks truly cry out.
