Ci 2.0 Fall Camps

We conducted our first Fall camps last month, running a Ci Mini: Conflicting Worldviews Camp and a Ci Mobile: Robotics 101 Adventure Camp. Both of these camps were very well received as confirmed by the data we received from the post event surveys. Both of these camps provide our team with excellent ways to extend the mission of Ci during the school year, also exposing our unprecedented summer program to more young people. We believe it will help us identify those young people for whom Ci is a strong fit, as we are not your typical summer youth camp. Our purpose is to inspire young people to discover wonder and amazement in everything they see in the world around them and teach them to face each day with an insatiable curiosity that drives them into a closer relationship with the Infinite One who created it all. If you or someone you know would be interested in scheduling a Ci Mini or Ci Mobile event, send our team an email [email protected] or give us a call 859-412-2203. Here are a few of our favorites shots from both camps:



Ci Mini: Conflicting Worldviews

These young men enjoy the intersection of science & the Bible giving them solid answers for today's challenging issues

Lunch is enjoyed by all in the middle of a very full camp schedule @ the Creation Museum

Ci Mobile: Robotics 101 Adventure



Ci Robotics 101 Adventure - 10 hours designed to challenge the mind and engage the heart on creation & theology of technology Here is an overview of the topics we cover:

  • biblical foundation

  • what is STEM?

  • what is robotics

  • benefits of learning STEM with robotics

  • getting started with Lego Mindstorm EV3

  • building

  • programming (what is software?)

  • projects - teamwork (STEM)




A couple of robotics "geeks" enjoy being creative, a human activity which comes from our being made in the Creator's image

Robotics is an excellent STEM activity which transcends gender

Cool to see which campers have a bent toward building and which ones enjoy programming - both skills are needed in this STEM rich activity

Thank you for your interest and prayers for Ci. We rejoice as we see the clear hand of God opening doors for Ci 2.0 this fall and beyond. If you know of a young person (grades 7-12) who has an appetite for knowledge and the pursuit of truth, please tell them about Ci 2.0 events. We are excited to be working on a 6-year curriculum that will engage a young person from 7th thru 12th grade, preparing them to pursue their higher education and become modern day Daniels who are competent to stand before the kings of their culture and proclaim God's Truth and point them to Jesus Christ!
