Copper Country Creation Adventure
Thursday, May 21– Tuesday, May 26, 2026
Trip Description
Experience the unique and awe-inspiring beauty of God’s Creation in the Copper Country of Upper Michigan!
Individuals, couples, and families are welcome to travel on the Living Waters bus with Living Waters Bible Camp Ministry and Adventure Program Staff for this five day and four night fascinating tour. Enjoy the beautiful scenery while making new friends and enjoying old friends along the way!
This will be a Creation-based trip featuring daily excursions including easy-to-moderate hikes through a copper mine, to a lookout point at Lake of the Clouds, and collecting Agates and “yooper-lites” along the shore of Lake Superior.
The tour begins and ends at Living Waters Bible Camp. We will be leaving at 8:00 am to start our seven hour journey. We will arrive in Houghton, Michigan with time to settle into our hotel and gather for our first session. This will be an unforgettable mini-vacation with the added eternal investment of seeing God’s awesome Creation!
An Adventure for the Whole Family
There will be learning in every adventure and memories at every stop. We will provide field guides, hand-held microscopes, rock hammers, metal detectors, black lights and safety equipment, but we encourage you to bring your own equipment to ensure that there is enough.
