Northwest Treasures, Geology
If your kids love rocks and fossils, look no further! At Northwest Treasures, Geology, we have you covered, with studies and hands-on kits for PreK-12, with rocks, minerals and/or fossils to enhance what they are learning! You can study dinosaurs, volcanoes, or rocks and minerals. Or the geology of our national parks or of the Lewis and Clark Trail. Or gems and fluorescence. We even have online classes! But beyond this, we teach geology from a Biblical perspective, with a view to helping our children be able to stand firmly on what they believe when it comes to defending the Genesis account of Creation, and the Flood. We aim to come alongside parents to help them to teach these tremendous truths to their kids. So join us to study our amazing earth, and what the God of Creation has done.
