Are We There Yet? Improvements in Astronomy Technology

Danny R Faulkner I began to seriously study astronomy a half-century ago. I was in my freshman year of high school. The Apollo program was nearing its climax with the soon to be landing of the Apollo 11 on the lunar surface that summer. Many other circumstances in my life were focusing my attention on the passion for astronomy that I already had. It was a heady time. And life seemed so much simpler back then. Most households had only one telephone, and it was either attached to a wall in the kitchen or to a cord and was sitting ...

Trust in Lord and He Will Direct Your Paths

  By Ben Torkelson   A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. (Proverbs 16:9) Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5­–6) As a young man, I learned these verses and believed them, but one of the great joys of living life is watching the truths we know come to life. These verses became vividly true after I moved my family from Alaska to Kentucky and started my new job as a handyman in ...

Why Did We Choose The Human Body for Our Ci 6.0 Theme?

For each summer camp we choose a theme to structure our activities around. Each theme must be relevant in terms of STEM and have a direct tie-in to apologetics (faith-defense), biblical worldview, and what’s happening in our culture and in science. We take something that has been grossly misrepresented in our culture through false or inaccurate scientific claims and look at it through the lens of Scripture. Our 2019 theme for our sixth camp is the human body. With the increase in biological and machine interfaces, as well as a society that is becoming more willing to kill innocent babies for ...

Cincinnati Museum Center Reopens for 2019

The Creation Museum and Ark Encounter aren’t the only Northern Kentucky attractions to get upgrades. In previous years, Ci has taken campers to the Cincinnati Museum Center, a massive museum located in a beautiful old train station, Union Terminal, in Cincinnati. But in 2016 they closed for renovations, so we have been taking campers to the museum at Big Bone Lick State Park instead. These museum tours serve as part of our competing worldviews teaching. We highlight how the same evidence is presented at both the Creation Museum and a secular science museum but two completely different interpretations are reached ...

Exciting Upgrades at the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter

A huge part of Ci is our partnership with Answers in Genesis and their two themed attractions, the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. Much of our camp takes place at the Creation Museum and our overnight camps also tour the nearby Ark Encounter. Since Ci 5.0 some things have changed at both attractions and we looked forward to experiencing these new upgrades with our campers: 4D Special Effects Theater. The Creation Museum now has a spectacular, totally refurbished 4D theater. It features the latest in 3D technology—including infrared 3D glasses—as well as special effects such as rumbling seats, wind, ...

Introducing the Ci 6.0 Counselors

In just a few short months, Ci 6.0 kicks off as we welcome our first group of campers. We’re excited to meet our 2019 campers and thought we’d start the introductions now by letting you get to know our Ci 6.0 counselors. Nathan Dwire I am a Freshman Zoo and Wildlife Biology major at Bob Jones University. I am very excited about the opportunity to serve at such a unique camp this summer. I can’t wait to help my campers learn more about STEM and about their Creator. This camp’s position of teaching STEM from a Christian worldview provides a ...

Big Changes For Camp Infinity

We have big news to announce to all our campers and their families. This news is both exciting and bittersweet, but we trust it is the Lord’s leading and it will be the beginning of an incredible new chapter in the history of Camp Infinity. Here’s the big news: Dan Wooster, the founder of Ci and the director for the past five years, has made the very difficult decision to step down as director. Living in Greenville, South Carolina, while directing a camp in Northern Kentucky, as well as hosting mobile and mini camps around the country, has demanded hundreds ...

Meet Our New Director

Dan Wooster, founder of Camp Infinity, recently resigned as our director. Having served in this capacity for six years, Dan’s devotion built Camp Infinity into the successful STEM camp ministry that it has become. We will greatly miss Dan’s leadership. At the same time, we are pleased to announce Ben Torkelson as interim director of Camp Infinity. Ben has extensive experience with camp ministry in his native Alaska. And Ben is no stranger to Camp Infinity, having helped in our summer programs the past four years. Ben is quite familiar with Answers in Genesis, the Creation Museum, and the Ark Encounter, which ...

Is Teaching Creation a “Huge Disservice” to Students and the Sciences?

A recent article by a secular blogger claimed that children who aren’t taught evolution won’t get that spark of interest that propels them to become scientists. Well, at Answers in Genesis we don’t believe that you need to be taught and believe evolution in order to be passionate about discovering more about what God has made. And this certainly bears true throughout history—many of the greatest scientists of all time were Christians who studied nature for God’s glory (and many of them lived at the time of Darwin)! We want more scientists like that. The phrase I put in bold particularly attracted attention and ...

MRI Inventor Endorses Ci

“I believe that evolution is a lie designed to weaken people’s faith in the accuracy of the Bible. This is why I am so excited to tell you about an unprecedented opportunity for young people who are interested in science & technology. My friend Dan Wooster, has started a new organization called Camp Infinity. This is not just any camp, but one that teaches a biblical worldview of science and technology.”  - Dr Raymond Damadian, MRI Inventor
