Camp Adams, Molalla Oregon
Designed for age 9 to age 16
Camp Adams is located in deep forest one hour south of Portland Oregon, near Mt Hood. It is a wonderful facility for children and adults with many miles of hiking trails, creeks, open meadows and comfortable modern facilities. The heated cabins have bathrooms with showers. A full size gym and a modern dining facility are just a short walk from the cabins.
Homeschool Science Camp is committed to teaching students about the wonders of natural things and events, in the context of a "hands-on" outdoor classroom. With a Biblical perspective and an emphasis on creation, campers learn about science in fun, innovative ways. The campers will develop a thoughtful appreciation for and a knowledge of the world that God created for our benefit. They will learn more about God’s handiwork and gain a proper understanding of the amazing interdependence of life in our universe. We provide a positive group living experience with opportunities to meet new Christian friends who also homeschool. Individuals will develop sound health habits and attitudes by providing and maintaining a clean, safe, and healthy environment in all areas of camp. A typical camp day includes 2 morning science classes, 2 afternoon recreation periods, evening creation lecture, campfire, 3 great meals and lots of supervised fun.

Creationist, Christian, Outdoor School Science Camp was started by Christian homeschool parents who wanted their children to have an Outdoor School learning experience in the safety of other Christian homeschooled children and adults. All staff including the director are volunteers- no one is paid. All staff are carefully screened for integrity and Christian maturity. A typical camp will see 100 children and 25 or more adults in attendance. Science Camp is non-denominational and is for Christians who believe in creation, love science and enjoy the outdoors. As always, PARENTS are strongly encouraged (but are not required) to attend as cabin counselors or teachers in areas of expertise. A $50 deposit will hold a place at camp. The following web pages at this site contain all the information on the forms we normally mail so you may print them off and save us all some postage! Make checks payable to the director by name-
