Ice Age Fossil Adventure

Over 10,000 people have been involved in this family-centered activity in which one is taught how to collect and interpret Florida fossils using a biblical framework.

CSI offers you and your family the chance to spend a weekend enjoying God's creation and giving glory to God as we dig up and identify the fossil of Ice Age creatures on the Peace River in Arcadia Florida.

This fossil rich land is also known as Bone Valley and for a good reason. In these waters lay the bones of the Sabor Tooth Cat, Columbian Mammoth, Giant Sloth, Megalodon Shark, and many more of God's creation that once flourished in this area and now await excavation. You could be the one that makes the next exciting discovery!

Guests can choose to reserve either a campsite or near-by hotel room for overnight accommodations.
